Exhibitors say
We participated to promote service robots, but also met buyers from the manufacturing sector and achieved results in the manufacturing solutions division as well. We met over 100 key buyers on-site and are currently following up to convert them into actual sales.
fter participating in STK, we noticed a significant increase in customers recognizing and reaching out to our brand, allowing us to truly experience the effect of enhanced brand awareness. In particular, inquiries for adoption consultations increased, leading to tangible business results. We plan to continue expanding customer touchpoints and creating business opportunities through STK every year.
As a result of demonstrating Unitree's latest humanoid and quadruped robots on the STK exhibition showcase stage, we received significant attention from conglomerates and major industries. We received specific collaboration inquiries on-site and achieved meaningful results confirming the industrial applicability of robotic solutions.
This exhibition participation was very successful. Over 600 visitors came to our booth showing great interest, with 122 customers requesting additional information, 72 requesting further consultations, and some progressing to the detailed proposal stage.
Israeli security and robotics companies had over 300 meetings with major Korean companies such as KT DS, Crescendo, Samsung SDS, Hyundai Construction, POSCO, SK, and Samsung Heavy Industries.
We successfully discovered Korean partners and attracted investments, and were highly satisfied with the participation results.
SEOUL AI HUB
Through the STK exhibition joint pavilion, we successfully introduced the differentiated AI technology capabilities of Seoul AI Hub-supported companies. Amid high interest from investment institutions and industry partners, we created opportunities for practical business connections between companies, making it a meaningful occasion that realized our institution's mission of activating the startup ecosystem.
