Students of the Accounting Study Program at STIE YKPN Yogyakarta have once again achieved success at the international level. A team of four Accounting students won a Bronze Award at the International Business & Management Virtual Innovation & Invention of Ideas Competition (VIIIC) 2026, organized by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia.
The award was won with the innovation titled “NOVA (Navigation, Observation, Vision & Assistance): AI-Powered Smart Glasses for Safer and Sustainable Mobility.” This innovative idea uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to offer a solution in the form of smart glasses that support safer and more sustainable mobility.
The team that represented STIE YKPN in the competition consisted of Callista Sheila Ananta, Gelis Nur Fitriani, Delaoka Putri Husada, and Muhammad Qris John Ihsani, all of whom are students of the Accounting Study Program at STIE YKPN Yogyakarta.
Through NOVA, the team developed an idea that combines AI technology with smart glasses to assist users with navigation, observation, and assistance while on the move. The idea reflects the students’ creativity in observing technological developments and connecting them to society’s need for safer and more sustainable mobility.
Taking part in VIIIC 2026 was also an opportunity for Accounting students to develop skills beyond their academic field, especially in developing ideas, working as a team, and turning innovative solutions into work that can be presented at the international level.
Winning the Bronze Award is a proud achievement and shows that Accounting students have the opportunity to contribute to innovation and technology. This achievement is expected to motivate other students to develop their ideas, take part in competitions, and bring STIE YKPN to a wider stage.
Congratulations to Callista Sheila Ananta, Gelis Nur Fitriani, Delaoka Putri Husada, and Muhammad Qris John Ihsani on winning the Bronze Award at VIIIC 2026. May this achievement be the first step to keep creating, innovating, and making an impact through beneficial ideas.
