FIX 2025, World Media Awards – Ubergizmo’s Prime 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 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 coated during the event.

Eliane Fiolet, Co-founer, Ubergizmo, with the Prime 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 prime three. Every taking part media outlet carried out an identical analysis inside its personal pool of firms, and in whole, 5 different international media companions additionally chosen their prime 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 stage of innovation introduced throughout numerous 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 Influence on the World, and Trade Potential.

FIX World 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 advanced waste streams that historically require guide labor, enhancing each accuracy and throughput. Its modular programs might be simply built-in into municipal and personal services, together with multi-use buildings, addressing one of many greatest obstacles to adoption: house and value 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 expertise, which delivers clear, quick, and extremely productive powder manufacturing whereas eliminating the necessity for water or solvents. This totally dry course of — uncommon within the nanocellulose discipline — reduces vitality 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 at the moment depend on plastic. Customary nanocellulose is already acknowledged for its excessive mechanical power 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 trade 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 duty with industrial feasibility and setting a robust basis for future large-scale influence.

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 pressure microscope to realize excessive decision at a fraction of at present’s typical LiDAR value. This strategy is distinctive within the LiDAR trade — 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 crucial persistent challenges in autonomous driving and robotics: decreasing sensor prices with out compromising precision. By adapting superior microscopy rules 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 autos. With a patent pending on this distinctive expertise, LCHP stands out as a deep-tech pioneer poised to disrupt a discipline lengthy dominated by incremental enhancements somewhat than basic breakthroughs.

Honorable Point out

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

A couple 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 resolution for digital actuality, robotics, and motion-control programs, enabling pure, intuitive human–machine interplay. Piaspace Co., Ltd. introduced MACS (Multi-modal AI for Digicam Resolution), a sophisticated CCTV analytics system that concurrently processes video and textual content information utilizing multimodal AI to interpret advanced conditions and contextual which means past the attain of standard visible programs. It may be simply built-in into present CCTV networks through an AI server (SaaS or on-premise), remodeling normal 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 exceptional innovation and imaginative and prescient, additional highlighting the distinctive range and creativity seen at FIX 2025.
