FIX 2025, International Media Awards – Ubergizmo’s Prime 3

Ubergizmo was invited as a media accomplice for the Future Innovation Tech Expo 2025 (FIX 2025), held from Tuesday, October 21 to Saturday, October 25 in Daegu, South Korea — a metropolis acknowledged as one of many nation’s high robotics and biotechnology hubs. As a part of this partnership, Ubergizmo participated within the judging of the FIX Media Awards 2025, a program distinct from the official FIX Innovation Awards 2025 that we additionally lined during the event.

Eliane Fiolet, Co-founer, Ubergizmo, with the Prime 3 winners: Wearcom, LCHP Tech and Wearcom

I used to be assigned 16 firms to guage and meet with in the course of the present, from which I chosen my high three. Every collaborating media outlet performed an identical analysis inside its personal pool of firms, and in complete, 5 different international media companions additionally chosen their high three selections based mostly on their assigned exhibitors. The choice was difficult, as I used to be genuinely impressed by the sophistication of the applied sciences and the stage of innovation introduced throughout various fields. AI, robotics, mobility, and biotech emerged as dominant themes all through the exhibition.

My key choice standards have been Innovation and Technological Uniqueness, Constructive Affect on the World, and Trade Potential.

FIX International Media Awards 2025, all winners and judges on stage

Among the many firms I evaluated, three stood out for his or her distinctive creativity, imaginative and prescient, and potential to form the way forward for their respective industries — Aetech, WEARCOM INC, and LCHP Tech. Corp.

Aetech

Aetech know-how description

Aetech earned its place among the many high three for its holistic and extremely sensible strategy to waste administration automation. The corporate’s suite of options — the AI-powered waste-sorting robotic Atron, the high-efficiency automated recycling platform Airo-MRF, and the compact Multi-tron system — demonstrates a transparent imaginative and prescient for scalable, real-world deployment. Aetech stands out for making use of superior pc imaginative and prescient and AI fashions to deal with advanced waste streams that historically require guide labor, enhancing each accuracy and throughput. Its modular methods might be simply built-in into municipal and personal amenities, together with multi-use buildings, addressing one of many greatest obstacles to adoption: area and value constraints. By combining sustainability targets with operational effectivity, Aetech bridges the hole between environmental accountability and industrial practicality — making its innovation not solely technically spectacular but in addition globally related within the round economic system motion.

WEARCOM INC

WEARCOM impressed me for its groundbreaking dry nanocellulose manufacturing know-how, which delivers clear, quick, and extremely productive powder manufacturing whereas eliminating the necessity for water or solvents. This absolutely dry course of — uncommon within the nanocellulose area — reduces vitality use, simplifies manufacturing, and opens the door to scalable, eco-friendly materials manufacturing. Whereas nonetheless on the prototype stage, WEARCOM’s first goal purposes embrace changing medical patches and versatile packaging supplies, each of which at the moment depend on plastic. Customary nanocellulose is already acknowledged for its excessive mechanical power and glorious gas-barrier properties, making it a promising sustainable substitute for plastics in meals packaging. I chosen this firm as a result of the packaging trade is urgently searching for sustainable alternate options to plastics —a multi-billion-dollar international alternative. WEARCOM’s patented know-how positions it on the forefront of the bio-based supplies motion, mixing environmental accountability with industrial feasibility and setting a powerful basis for future large-scale impression.

LCHP Tech. Corp.

LCHP captured my consideration for creating a low-cost, high-definition LiDAR system that makes use of the similar optical know-how present in an atomic power microscope to attain excessive decision at a fraction of at present’s typical LiDAR price. This strategy is distinctive within the LiDAR trade — not one of the main gamers at the moment use atomic microscope-based optical strategies — giving LCHP a transparent technological edge. Whereas nonetheless on the prototype stage, this innovation tackles probably the most persistent challenges in autonomous driving and robotics: lowering sensor prices with out compromising precision. By adapting superior microscopy ideas to LiDAR design, LCHP may make high-quality 3D sensing sensible for a wider vary of purposes, from industrial robots to smaller agricultural or service autos. With a patent pending on this distinctive know-how, LCHP stands out as a deep-tech pioneer poised to disrupt a area lengthy dominated by incremental enhancements relatively than basic breakthroughs.

Honorable Point out

IMsystem Pathfinder-Navi-ST prototype, Piaspace MACS, and Quester hand-tracking glove

A couple of different firms got here very shut to creating the highest three. Quester Inc. stood out with its hand-tracking glove, a exact, responsive interface answer for digital actuality, robotics, and motion-control methods, enabling pure, intuitive human–machine interplay. Piaspace Co., Ltd. introduced MACS (Multi-modal AI for Digital camera Answer), a complicated CCTV analytics system that concurrently processes video and textual content knowledge utilizing multimodal AI to interpret advanced conditions and contextual which means past the attain of typical visible methods. It may be simply built-in into current CCTV networks through an AI server (SaaS or on-premise), remodeling normal surveillance infrastructure into next-generation multimodal AI-powered platforms able to exact, real-time anomaly detection. IMsystem Co., Ltd. showcased Pathfinder-Navi-ST, a micro medical robotic for precision endovascular intervention, and VasculiX, a biomimetic 3D vascular simulation mannequin that allows superior analysis and testing. Every of those firms demonstrated exceptional innovation and imaginative and prescient, additional highlighting the distinctive range and creativity seen at FIX 2025.
