The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the organizer of CES, presents Innovation Awards to products or technologies that demonstrate outstanding technological prowess and innovation. The award-winning companies are Otiton Medical Co., Ltd., Geowind Co., Ltd., Safeway Co., Ltd., and Ewon OMS Co., Ltd.

Otiton Medical Co., Ltd. achieved the remarkable feat of winning the Innovation Award in the Mobile Devices and Apps category for the second consecutive year, following its success at CES 2025. Geowind Co., Ltd. received the award for its self-developed vertical axis wind turbine based on a regular icosahedron structure.

Safeway Co., Ltd., a company specializing in the convergence of autonomous driving and robot platform 'MoT', will participate in CES for the third consecutive year, following its participation in CES 2024. This year, it received the Innovation Award for its 'Obstacle and Step Overcoming Mobility' technology. Ewon OMS Co., Ltd. was recognized for its artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart dressing mirror, 'HeyMirror'. HeyMirror is a smart life platform that uses an AI styling engine to automatically recommend personalized outfits.

Geumcheon-gu will establish a 'Geumcheon Pavilion' within the 'Seoul Integrated Pavilion' organized by the Seoul Business Agency (SBA). Of the seven Geumcheon-gu companies participating in CES 2026 through this year's support program, five will showcase their products and technologies at the Geumcheon Pavilion, while the remaining two will exhibit at the Sungkyunkwan University and SBA Startup Headquarters booths, respectively.

Geumcheon-gu is collaborating with SBA to implement a group participation support program for overseas exhibitions. The district not only provides financial support for participation costs to small and medium-sized enterprises struggling to find export markets, but also offers comprehensive assistance, ranging from preliminary consulting to contract signing and performance management.

To further support export market development, Geumcheon-gu also holds the 'G-Valley Export Consultation Meeting'. At the export consultation meetings held in July and October this year, 54 companies from Geumcheon-gu recorded a total of 290 consultations, with the estimated contract value reaching approximately 9.8 billion won. A company representative stated, "We were able to secure new sales channels by connecting directly with overseas buyers," and added, "Geumcheon-gu's export support policy has been a significant help in expanding our actual sales."

Mayor Yoo Seonghun of Geumcheon-gu said, "I am deeply gratified that the outstanding companies from Geumcheon-gu participating in CES 2026 have had their technological capabilities recognized on the global stage, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment in supporting them." He added, "We will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of Geumcheon-gu companies by expanding various global marketing support initiatives, such as joint participation in overseas exhibitions and export consultation meetings."
