As of 10:00 a.m. on November 19, Angel Robotics’ share price on the KOSDAQ market was up 13.18% from the previous closing price, trading at 29,200 won. This appears to be due to the news that the company has been selected for the national certification program as a “Next-Generation World-Class Product.”

Angel Robotics is a company that develops and manufactures wearable robots specialized for various fields, including healthcare, industry, and defense, with a focus on intelligent wearable robotics. According to SK Securities, 74% of last year’s revenue came from “Angel MEDI,” an exoskeleton walking training medical robot designed for muscle recovery and rehabilitation in patients with lower limb paralysis. The company also offers “Angel SUIT,” a rehabilitation robot for hospitals and home use; “Angel GEAR,” a wearable suit for industrial strength assistance; and “Angel KIT,” a component platform for robots.

On this day, Angel Robotics announced that it was selected as a “Next-Generation World-Class Product and Manufacturer” at the “2025 World-Class Product Certification Ceremony” held at Lotte Hotel World in Seoul on November 18. Angel Robotics became the first company in the robotics industry to be selected as a next-generation world-class product in the “robot-assisted orthopedic exercise device” category.

The World-Class Product Promotion Project is a national certification program hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). Since 2001, it has been implemented annually to diversify Korea’s export items and secure future growth engines. Items and manufacturers with the potential to rank within the top five in global market share within the next seven years are selected as “next-generation world-class,” and selected companies receive various government support programs-such as financial support, R&D, overseas marketing, and professional consulting-to strengthen their competitiveness in the global market.

The company’s flagship product, “Angel Legs M20,” is a wearable robot used for therapy to restore lower limb muscle and joint movement. Based on its clinically proven effectiveness and product quality competitiveness at major hospitals and rehabilitation centers in Korea and abroad, Angel Robotics is accelerating its expansion into Asian markets, having obtained medical device certifications in Thailand and Vietnam, and now targeting Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and others.

Earlier this month, Oh Junho, head of the Future Robot Promotion Team at Samsung Electronics, stated that “robot stocks have been on the rise as we are conducting humanoid research in collaboration with big tech companies.” At the time, Oh said, “Samsung Electronics is researching actuators, software, and various types of robots,” adding, “In the field of artificial intelligence, we are developing AI that utilizes the entire body and task-oriented AI together with big tech companies.”
