Chonbuk National University will participate in ‘CES 1’, the world’s largest IT and home appliance exhibition, opening in Las Vegas, USA on January 5 (local time) and unveil two innovative technologies owned by the university.
Chonbuk National University, which announced its first CES participation this year, plans to set up a venue at Eureka Park and the general exhibition hall. Eureka Park is a place where buyers and users actively receive feedback on new products from ventures, universities, and research institutes, and goes through a pre-screening selection process at the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organizes the exhibition.
At this exhibition, Chonbuk National University will showcase the ‘blood clot detection imaging system’ developed by Professor Song Cheol-gyu’s team and the ‘Low Carbon Verification Platform’, a system that tracks and predicts the carbon footprint of cows developed by the Lee School professor’s team.
The blood clot detection imaging system is an imaging technology that quickly detects blood clots within blood vessels, and its effectiveness and accuracy have been verified through international joint research with Harvard Medical School and Hospital (Ministry of Education BRL, Industrial Core Technology Development Project).
The low-carbon verification platform of this school’s professor team is the world’s first technology to produce low-carbon beef through big data of genome information, and is a big data-based technology accumulated through a national research project worth 15 billion won over the past 800 years. Chonbuk National University is expanding and accelerating the application of these low-carbon cattle verification and monitoring technologies to the domestic Korean beef industry, while simultaneously promoting the global expansion of livestock carbon neutral technology.
To this end, research and development of a carbon credit trading platform based on carbon footprint tracking verification monitoring and that technology was completed. Furthermore, ‘Mellience’, a venture company founded by Chonbuk National University faculty members that developed this research technology, recently became an official member of ‘GRSB (Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef)’, a global sustainable beef consultative body in which global livestock and distribution companies such as McDonald’s, Walmart, Thais, and Cargill participated. Approved as a member, it is expected that it will present a new model in the global ESG field.
Song Cheol-gyu, head of the LINC3.0 project at Chonbuk National University, said, “This CES exhibition was promoted as a way to publicize the university’s global IP-based innovative technology and to attract global technology marketing and investment,” adding, “It is an opportunity for Chonbuk National University to be reborn as an entrepreneurial university.” “It will be,” he said.
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition, is an exhibition where you can understand the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance. Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 1 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 17, and has been selected as the ‘BEST OF CES’, which selects the best innovative products and technologies, and the ‘BEST OF’, which selects domestic innovative companies. ‘MADE IN KOREA’ was held. In addition, CES on-site issues were vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
