To promote the technological capabilities and brand value of SMEs in the region to the global market, the city is recruiting companies to participate in the "CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2027 Innovation Award Support Program" until May 29.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the world's largest exhibition for consumer electronics, information technology (IT), and innovative technologies, held every January in Las Vegas, United States.

The CES Innovation Awards are presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the event organizer, to products that demonstrate outstanding technology, innovation, and aesthetics among innovative products worldwide.

The purpose of this program is to help local companies validate their innovative technologies on the international stage and support them in expanding into overseas markets and strengthening their brand competitiveness.

Eligible applicants are SMEs with their headquarters or manufacturing facilities located in Gwangmyeong City. They must possess products or technologies that correspond to the CES 2027 Innovation Award categories, and the relevant product or technology must have been launched or be scheduled for launch between April 1, 2026, and April 1, 2027.

The city plans to recruit approximately 20 companies, then select a final group of seven after conducting both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

Selected companies will receive comprehensive training for applying for the CES Innovation Awards and customized English-language application consulting for each company. The program will also provide up to 600,000 won each to cover costs for producing or improving English-language product videos and for the Innovation Award application fee.

The seven final companies will also receive additional points when applying for the "CES 2027 Overseas Exhibition Group Pavilion Support Program," which is scheduled to be implemented in the second half of the year.

Companies wishing to participate should check the announcement on the Gwangmyeong City website and submit the required documents via email. The final selection results will be individually notified in June.
