to enter the overseas market specializing in the eco industry.
The companies from G-HUB 2021 selected by
BEST OF MIK are as follows. △ByPaper △Delis △Nuvi Lab
ByPaper
ByPaper developed and sold the eco-friendly
paper cat tower Catssle in 2019, and is focusing on entering the overseas
market.
By using paper corrugated material, paper
cat tower Catssle boasts excellent price competitiveness compared to other wood
products. Consumers have five colors to choose, and they can create diverse
shapes by connecting the blocks like Lego pieces.
The company staff said, "We
participated in Gwangmyeong G-Hub overseas support project for overseas
promotion and sales of eco-friendly product Catssle. And by participating in
the overseas trade shows and online consultations, we are aiming at exporting
to the US first and Europe and Japan second in 2021."
Delis
Delis introduced its solid broth made with
natural ingredients. The company staff said, "The company was established
on September 19, 2018, and has developed a solid broth that is simple and
convenient to store. The goal is for many people to use their own broth to conveniently
cook so that they can spend the spare time with their family or on other
important things."
Next, he said, "Our instant solid
broth with natural ingredients is made by mixing powders and extracts of
natural ingredients and boiling them as if actually boiling the broth to create
the extract with rich flavor. Since this extract was made into blocks by
freeze-drying method, it had a savory taste like real broth, and people can
make tasty broth in boiling water within three seconds. In this process, food waste
is not generated, so it is eco-friendly and can reduce the cost of food
ingredients."
Nuvi Lab
Nuvi Lab introduced its AI food scanning
technology. Established in 2018, Nuvi Lab has developed an AI food scanner that
can accurately measure the type and amount of food by using AI object
recognition and distance measurement sensor technology. Through this, it
provides food waste reduction solutions and diet-based healthcare services.
The company staff said, "With our food
waste reduction solution, we want to contribute to the reduction of food waste
by preventing excessive food from being thrown away by helping to predict the
correct amount of food in restaurants, cafeterias, and buffets."
Also, he said, "We provide a
healthcare solution based on personal eating habits information through
collection of intake/leftover amount data and big data analysis through
scanning of food before/after a customer's meal."
