The bank will run the IBK Innovation Hall under the slogan "The Meeting of Technology and Capital" at CES 2026, which will be held from January 6 to 9 (local time) at Eureka Park in the Venetian Expo, Las Vegas, USA.

At the IBK Innovation Hall, the bank will showcase its innovative financial capabilities, including its New Technology Evaluation System, K-Content Investment Process, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Precision Diagnosis System.

IBK Industrial Bank will operate an experience zone where visitors can try out the three systems using kiosk-style screens.

In particular, the newly introduced New Technology Evaluation System is a differentiated system that, unlike traditional finance-centered corporate evaluation methods, analyzes and evaluates a company's future growth potential using artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies.

Through the New Technology Evaluation System, IBK Industrial Bank will select seven promising startups and provide them with booths inside the IBK Innovation Hall to exhibit their products and services.

Additionally, through demonstration programs for the K-Content Investment Process and the ESG Precision Diagnosis System, the bank will introduce its know-how in cultural content investment and ESG consulting to visitors.

An event zone will also be set up, featuring a photo booth and interactive event programs.

The IBK Changgong Hall will be located within the Integrated Korea Pavilion, operated by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. At the IBK Changgong Hall, a promotional booth will be operated to support the global expansion of 15 promising startups fostered by the IBK Changgong startup incubation platform.

Kim Intae, Head of the Innovation Finance Group at IBK Industrial Bank, said, "CES 2026 is an opportunity to show how IBK's financial system discovers innovative companies and connects them to both financial and non-financial support. We plan to continue promoting IBK's financial expertise and the innovative companies we have discovered to the global market."
