FIX 2025, International Media Awards – Ubergizmo’s High 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 prime 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 High 3 winners: Wearcom, LCHP Tech and Wearcom

I used to be assigned 16 firms to judge and meet with in the course of the present, from which I chosen my prime three. Every collaborating media outlet performed an analogous analysis inside its personal pool of firms, and in complete, 5 different international media companions additionally chosen their prime 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 degree of innovation introduced throughout various fields. AI, robotics, mobility, and biotech emerged as dominant themes all through the exhibition.

My key choice standards had been Innovation and Technological Uniqueness, Optimistic Impression 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 expertise description

Aetech earned its place among the many prime 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 laptop imaginative and prescient and AI fashions to deal with complicated waste streams that historically require handbook labor, enhancing each accuracy and throughput. Its modular methods could be simply built-in into municipal and personal services, together with multi-use buildings, addressing one of many greatest limitations 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 additionally globally related within the round financial system motion.

WEARCOM INC

WEARCOM impressed me for its groundbreaking dry nanocellulose manufacturing expertise, 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 subject — reduces power use, simplifies manufacturing, and opens the door to scalable, eco-friendly materials manufacturing. Whereas nonetheless on the prototype stage, WEARCOM’s first goal functions embody changing medical patches and versatile packaging supplies, each of which presently depend on plastic. Customary nanocellulose is already acknowledged for its excessive mechanical energy 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 business is urgently looking for sustainable alternate options to plastics —a multi-billion-dollar international alternative. WEARCOM’s patented expertise 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 growing a low-cost, high-definition LiDAR system that makes use of the identical optical expertise present in an atomic drive microscope to attain excessive decision at a fraction of right this moment’s typical LiDAR value. This strategy is distinctive within the LiDAR business — not one of the main gamers presently use atomic microscope-based optical strategies — giving LCHP a transparent technological edge. Whereas nonetheless on the prototype stage, this innovation tackles some of the persistent challenges in autonomous driving and robotics: lowering sensor prices with out compromising precision. By adapting superior microscopy ideas to LiDAR design, LCHP might make high-quality 3D sensing sensible for a wider vary of functions, from industrial robots to smaller agricultural or service automobiles. With a patent pending on this distinctive expertise, LCHP stands out as a deep-tech pioneer poised to disrupt a subject lengthy dominated by incremental enhancements moderately than basic breakthroughs.

Honorable Point out

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

Just a few 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 sophisticated CCTV analytics system that concurrently processes video and textual content knowledge utilizing multimodal AI to interpret complicated conditions and contextual that means past the attain of typical visible methods. It may be simply built-in into current CCTV networks by way of an AI server (SaaS or on-premise), remodeling commonplace 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 permits superior analysis and testing. Every of those firms demonstrated outstanding innovation and imaginative and prescient, additional highlighting the distinctive range and creativity seen at FIX 2025.
