Photo Essay 2: POSTECH-POSCO Joint Booth
POSTECH participated in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for the second year in a row, operating a joint booth to promote the startups founded by POSTECH alumni at Eureka Park, an exhibition arena for global startups. A total of 21 startups, up 40%, exhibited their innovations in a space that was twice as large as last year's.
Let's explore the POSTECH startups that dazzled at CES, the center of cutting-edge technology!

Among the 34 small and medium-sized Korean companies that won the Innovation Awards at CES 2023, Graphene Square, AI FOR PET, ONESOFTDIGM, and Lutra were founded by POSTECH students and alumni. Notably, Graphene Square was named a Best of Innovation Award honoree at CES 2023.
〈Graphene Square〉
The graphene radiator is a virtual fireplace that generates heat from graphene. Compared to conventional coil-type heaters, this game-changer uses the excellent heating property of graphene to lower energy consumption by up to 30% while generating virtually no electromagnetic radiation. The portable, folding unit produces a mix of 3D flames and crackling fire sounds, accentuating any décor style.
〈ONESOFTDIGM〉
Fitrus is a personalized health management smart device combined with solution. This easy-to-use device allows consumers to monitor their health in real time at their convenience.
〈Lutra〉
Lutra believes that ownership is the core value of non-fungible tokens. CLAM is a mobile app that turns a photo taken with a smartphone into an NFT.
〈MiDAS H&T〉
This company showcased a smart wearable device that can easily detect the movement or condition of the human body through the use of stretchable electrodes based on printing technology. The device can adjust the temperature of the apparel by releasing microcurrents and capture the movements of muscles and joints more accurately during sports activities.
〈BUBBLER〉
The stent designed by Bubbler uses calcium carbonate to produce tiny CO2 bubbles that unclog blocked blood vessels.
〈hearDL〉
HearDL exhibits a deep-learning-based, noise-canceling hearing aid application that operates with a smartphone. The app does not require any particular device. The only thing needed is a typical sound receiver - earphones or headphones.
〈EcoTect〉
EcoTect showcased environmentally friendly ocean buoys, EcoFoam, made of mushroom roots and used coffee grounds to replace plastic ones. EcoFoam attracted attention as it overcomes the limitations of conventional eco-friendly buoys that have short life spans and low durability.
