Last Updated on February 22, 2024 10:05 am by Jeffrey Powers
I once again joined Aving.net, along with a host of media outlets around the world to learn about companies and startups in the Korean markets. We chose the best companies, and gave out awards. And while I missed spending time in Korea, it felt good to get together with the others to catch up and find what companies are continuing to create content in 2021.
ICTWOW 2021
I was joined up with my friend Leo from Le Cafe Du Geek, along with media companies Sina, Vietnam+, and Aving USA to give out the Best of ICTWOW 2021.
The goal of ICTWOW is to have a voice for companies that are struggling because of the pandemic. The Ministry of Science and ICT (Minister Hye-sook Lim) and the Korea Information and Communication Promotion Association (Chairman Jeong-ho Park) use this event to promote products and services that consumers from around the world can use.
The winners included:
- Le Cafe Du Geek: Cloud N is a national R&D company and ECO-friendly building consultant.
- Sina: Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) leads the communication industry in Korea since 1976. ETRI is supporting national innovation growth through different technologies in super-intelligence.
- Aving: Studio Coin Co. Ltd has been focusing on virtual and augmented realities (VR-AR). Recently, the company has been expanding into healthcare – focusing on patients who suffer PTSD after a traffic incident.
- Vietnam+: Safeware develops wearable airbags. This brings way to lifejackets for sport use – bicycling, horseback riding, and even water sports.
