| Samsung reviews C-Lab projects at CES |
Samsung announced that it will showcase the C-Lab project and experiences from January 11-14 at CES 2021. This year it reflects the reality of staying home due to the outbreak.
Samsung launched four ongoing projects under the C-Lab Inside program, and 17 startups participated in activities supported by the Samsung C-Lab Outside Startup Acceleration.
Launched in 2012, the C-Lab Inside program consists of four projects that offer consumers a unique lifestyle. The program is an internship incubation program designed to encourage and promote innovative ideas for Samsung employees.
This year's C-Lab Inside project focuses on personalized products and services that respond to different lifestyles.
Projects within C-Lab:
- EZCal: a mobile application that can automatically calibrate the TV picture quality.
- Airbag: A portable oxygen storage device that can be worn on the face like a mask.
- Scanning and diving: IoT devices are used to classify tissues and recommend best care.
- Food & Sommelier: An AI service to find the best food.
Samsung founded C-Lab Outside in October 2018 to revitalize the startup ecosystem in Korea.
Startups that participate in the C-Lab Outside program benefit from a desk workstation, expert advice from Samsung employees, opportunities to participate in global IT trade fairs, investor relations, and financial support.

- Medipresso: a health solution with recommendations for a health check.

Given the limited options for startups to attend industry trade fairs face-to-face during the 2020 pandemic, Samsung is actively helping startups attend this year's CES to attract potential investors and buyers.
Samsung-sponsored local startups, the Daegu Center for Creative Industries and Innovation, and the Kyungpook Center for Creative Industries and Innovation are participating in CES for the first time this year.
