A startup supported by Chonnam National University has been recognized for its technological prowess on the global stage with an AI platform dedicated to women's safety.

According to Chonnam National University on November 10, the AI-based women's safety platform "The Guide," developed by Allthetime Co., Ltd.-a startup supported by the university's Startup-Centered University Project Group-won the Innovation Award at "CES 2026," the world's largest electronics and IT trade show.

The CES Innovation Award is presented annually by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) to products recognized for their innovative technology and design, and is considered one of the most prestigious technology awards in the global IT industry.

"The Guide" is an AI-integrated platform that supports women's safety across all stages-prevention, response, and recovery. Its key features include an AI risk prediction engine, an empathetic AI counselor, and a smart tracker. Users can detect risks in advance and send an SOS immediately with the press of a button in emergency situations.

Allthetime Co., Ltd. has already signed MOUs with more than six countries, including those in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Australia, and is expanding its areas of cooperation into AI, satellite data, and smart city sectors. With the momentum from winning the CES Innovation Award, the company plans to accelerate the creation of a "global safety ecosystem that combines technology and empathy."

Cho Sang-eun, CEO of Allthetime Co., Ltd., stated, "We want victims to feel assured that they are protected within a single platform," adding, "We will expand our safety network to include vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, and develop the service into one that can propose policy recommendations."

Lee Yunseong, head of the Startup-Centered University Project Group at Chonnam National University, said, "It is very meaningful that the innovative technology of a Chonnam National University startup has been recognized on the world stage. We will continue to support local startups with global ambitions so they can take on new challenges."
