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

Ubergizmo was invited as a media associate 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 High 3 winners: Wearcom, LCHP Tech and Wearcom

I used to be assigned 16 firms to guage and meet with throughout the present, from which I chosen my high three. Every taking part media outlet performed an identical analysis inside its personal pool of firms, and in whole, 5 different world media companions additionally chosen their high three selections primarily based 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 numerous fields. AI, robotics, mobility, and biotech emerged as dominant themes all through the exhibition.

My key choice standards have been Innovation and Technological Uniqueness, Optimistic 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 laptop imaginative and prescient and AI fashions to deal with advanced waste streams that historically require guide labor, bettering each accuracy and throughput. Its modular programs may be simply built-in into municipal and personal amenities, together with multi-use buildings, addressing one of many largest obstacles to adoption: house and price constraints. By combining sustainability objectives with operational effectivity, Aetech bridges the hole between environmental duty and industrial practicality — making its innovation not solely technically spectacular but in addition globally related within the round financial 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 discipline — 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 purposes embody changing medical patches and versatile packaging supplies, each of which at the moment depend on plastic. Commonplace nanocellulose is already acknowledged for its excessive mechanical power and glorious gas-barrier properties, making it a promising sustainable alternative for plastics in meals packaging. I chosen this firm as a result of the packaging business is urgently searching for sustainable options to plastics —a multi-billion-dollar world alternative. WEARCOM’s patented know-how positions it on the forefront of the bio-based supplies motion, mixing environmental duty with industrial feasibility and setting a robust 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 pressure microscope to realize excessive decision at a fraction of at this time’s typical LiDAR price. This strategy is distinctive within the LiDAR business — 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 one 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 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 discipline lengthy dominated by incremental enhancements slightly than elementary breakthroughs.

Honorable Point out

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

A number 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 programs, 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 programs. It may be simply built-in into present CCTV networks by way of an AI server (SaaS or on-premise), reworking customary 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 outstanding innovation and imaginative and prescient, additional highlighting the distinctive range and creativity seen at FIX 2025.
