According to the latest reports, Samsung announced today that it will showcase 13 innovative technologies of its C-Lab project at CES 2022. This project consists of two parts, namely the internal venture capital plan C-Lab Inside and the start-up acceleration plan C-Lab Outside. It currently contains nine start-up companies.
C-Lab Inside started in December 2012. Since then, Samsung has been cultivating employees’ innovative ideas and delivering a corporate culture that puts creativity first. The plan supports ideas and innovations in all business areas. Since 2015, Samsung has been supporting the C-Lab project with huge market potential and encouraging the split of the project into start-up companies.
Since 2016, Samsung has been exhibiting the C-Lab Inside project in Eureka Park. During the exhibition, customers will learn about these Samsung projects, and some will transform their applications.
The four C-Lab Inside projects to be exhibited include:
- Piloto: Can help children develop the correct habits of using smartphones.
- PROBA: An AI-based online exam system for administrators, candidates and supervisors.
- Innovision: A mobile device for early detection of infant strabismus, which can be used in kindergartens.
- ZamStar: A smart electric guitar that can display LEDs on the bar, making it easier to learn guitar.
