Well-known South Korean companies present innovative technologies at World IT Show

Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, SK Telecom, KT, Kia and other well-known companies from South Korea were among the exhibitors at the World IT Show in April 2022. The largest IT event in the capital city of Seoul, hosted by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), offers companies the opportunity to showcase their latest trends and future products. This year’s exhibition was themed “Transitioning the Global Community from Pandemic to Endemic.” Organizers reported that more than 350 large, small and medium-sized companies and public institutions participated in the exhibition. The show was divided into these areas: contactless technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT), digital worlds and metaverse, smart devices, digital healthcare, and cybersecurity and blockchain. Many electronic products need a KC certification in order to be approved for the Korean market.

Among the well-known exhibitors was Samsung Electronics, the world’s number one in smartphones and TVs, showcasing its latest gadgets such as the Galaxy S22 series devices and the foldable Galaxy Z Flip 3. LG Electronics also showed robots and gadgets for business customers in addition to its home appliances. An LG spokesperson elaborated further on the exhibits: For example, the LG CLOi ServeBot assistance robot greeted guests at the LG booth and explained the products on display. In the Smart Office Solutions area, LG introduced the LG One:Quick, a 4K touchscreen with camera, microphone and speaker for hospitals and clinical facilities. South Korean mobile operator KT presented smart cleaning robots for quarantine facilities and hospitals, as well as monitoring and control systems for road traffic, as part of its restructuring as a digital platform provider.
