Satoshi Holdings Wins "Innovation Award" at CES 2026... Accelerates Global Market Expansion

Sanghyuk Hong, CEO of Satoshi Holdings.

KOSDAQ-listed Satoshi Holdings (formerly DeepMind Platform) announced on January 7 that it will participate in the world's largest IT and electronics exhibition, CES 2026, where it will target the global market by showcasing its quantum cryptography-based drone and cybersecurity technologies.

Satoshi Holdings will open an exhibition booth at CES 2026, which kicks off on January 6 (local time) in Las Vegas, USA, and operate it as a "business-focused exhibition" that prioritizes discovering global clients over simple promotion.

At this exhibition, the company plans to conduct technology demonstrations and global sales activities centered on its quantum security (PQC)-based drone platform "ARGUS-Q™," which won the Innovation Award in the Cybersecurity category. "ARGUS-Q™" is a next-generation drone security platform based on PQC encrypted communications that are unbreakable even in a quantum computing environment.

A company representative explained, "Winning the CES Innovation Award is significant not only as a technical showcase, but also because it demonstrates that post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has been implemented to a level that is immediately applicable in the defense, security, and advanced mobility sectors."

During the exhibition, Satoshi Holdings will directly demonstrate the technical architecture and application cases of "ARGUS-Q™" to global companies and defense and security agencies from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The company also plans to engage in substantive business discussions, including proof-of-concept (PoC), joint business ventures, and licensing collaborations.

In addition, Satoshi Holdings will unveil an integrated defense system named the "K-Drone Kill Chain" at this exhibition. This system integrates a three-stage response process-detection, interception, and neutralization-into a single intelligent network.

The K-Drone Kill Chain incorporates PQC technology transferred from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), enabling it to fundamentally block quantum computer-based hacking, jamming, and signal interception attempts.

This technology is attracting attention because it allows for the procurement of key drone components from the global supply chain while simultaneously ensuring communications security and operational sovereignty. It is evaluated as fundamentally resolving the security risks associated with the use of foreign-made modems and image processing chips, which have been pointed out as vulnerabilities in the existing drone industry, through proprietary cryptographic technology.

A Satoshi Holdings representative stated, "Winning the CES 2026 Innovation Award and exhibiting on-site proves that our quantum security technology is being recognized as a practical solution in the global market," adding, "Through this exhibition, we will accelerate our entry into the global defense, security, and digital infrastructure markets."

An industry insider commented, "Satoshi Holdings' participation in CES 2026 is significant as it marks a Korean company entering the global standard competition in the emerging field of quantum-secure drones," adding, "The market is closely watching to see whether this will lead to actual business achievements beyond technical certification."
