IBK Changgong, the startup acceleration platform operated by IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, has finalized 15 startups that will participate in CES 2026, to be held in Las Vegas, USA, in January next year, and has begun full-scale support for their global expansion.

On the 15th, IBK Industrial Bank hosted the “IBK Changgong CES 2026 Kick-Off” event at IBK Finance Tower in Euljiro, Seoul. The event was organized to review the selected companies’ exhibition preparations and to share upcoming schedules ahead of CES participation.

A total of 15 IBK Changgong-affiliated startups were selected, representing a wide range of advanced industries including AI, 3D technology, mobility, and healthcare.

The participating companies are as follows:
RealTeeth (AI-based 3D dental prosthetics design automation),
Mindspace (automated 3D space generation),
Modisense Vision (3D camera-based vision solutions),
Mitown (neural rendering-based 3D content creation),
SaesolTech (V2X security platform),
Sim2Real (real-time monitoring simulation),
IceLinker (portable cooling device),
Xcube (AI-converged medical imaging analysis),
Optiple (variable-transparency film cell),
UMED (LLM-based urology platform),
Intellectus (DX/AX integrated solution),
Zero Energy Solution (mass production of vanadium dioxide powder),
Quester (robot remote-operation hand-tracking glove),
TMEVNet (EV charger cooling system),
and Puit (satellite-based in-vehicle e-call solution).

IBK Changgong has already provided these companies with consulting and pre-training programs aimed at winning CES Innovation Awards, and will also support booth operations during the exhibition.

A key highlight of this support is the post-exhibition follow-up program. After CES concludes, IBK Industrial Bank will operate a local acceleration program in collaboration with the IBK Changgong Silicon Valley Desk. Through this initiative, participating startups will gain access to global corporate networking, connections with local investors, and seminars on U.S. market entry strategies—offering concrete opportunities to expand into the North American market.

Kim In-tae, Head of the Innovation Finance Group at IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, stated, “IBK Changgong provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from pre-exhibition training to post-event follow-up. We hope CES 2026 will serve as a major stepping stone for our startups to gain global recognition for their technological capabilities.”
