Eight startups that spun off from C-Lab will also participate to explore entry into overseas markets.

These include 'MOPIC', a 3D video solution that allows viewing 3D content without glasses; 'LINKFLOW', a first-person perspective neckband-type wearable 360-degree camera; 'lululab', an artificial intelligence solution that analyzes and manages facial skin; 'WELT', a smart belt for health management; 'Cooljamm Company', a video background music composition service; 'MONIT', a smart baby monitor; 'analogue plus', a smart communication device for helmet users; and 'BLUEFEEL', a portable mini air purifier.

Starting with the small smart printer 'Mango Slab' winning the Best Innovation Award at 'CES 2017', three spin-off companies from C-Lab also won CES Innovation Awards this year, receiving recognition for their technological prowess.

In particular, Linkflow achieved the feat of winning for two consecutive years by winning the Innovation Award for its wearable camera 'FITT360' in the digital imaging and photography sector last year, followed by winning the Innovation Award this year for 'FITT360 CONNECT'.

Also, Mopic's 'Snap3D Case'; won the CES Innovation Award in the portable media player and accessory product categories, while Lululab’s LUMINI won the award in the biotech category.

C-Lab is an in-house venture incubation program introduced by Samsung Electronics in December 2012 to spread a creative organizational culture and discover creative ideas from employees.

To date, we have discovered and nurtured over 220 ideas, and among the C-Lab projects capable of founding a startup, 36 have spun off from Samsung Electronics to become startups.

Last October, the company announced plans to contribute to strengthening the domestic startup ecosystem by launching the 'C-Lab Outside' incubation program to discover innovative aspiring entrepreneurs and external startups.

"From ideas for producing video content in real time to perfume manufacturing services, the representative projects of C-Lab that have recently been in the spotlight will delight visitors at CES," said Han In-guk, Senior Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics' Creative Development Center.
