Kribi Port Authority Showcases Innovation at the Future Innovation Exposition 2025 in South Korea
A strong commitment to technological advancement and robotics for sustainable development
In line with its commitment to innovation and sustainable technology, the Kribi Port Authority (PAK) took part in the Future Innovation Exposition & Robot Business Forum held in Daegu, South Korea, from October 22 to 24, 2025, under the auspices of the Global Robot Cluster. A global event where technology, research, and human vision converged for a smarter and more sustainable future.
As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation and technological development, the Kribi Port Authority (PAK) had the privilege of being represented at the Future Innovation Exposition & Robot Business Forum, held in Daegu, South Korea, from October 22 to 24, 2025, under the leadership of the Global Robot Cluster.
It was a powerful and inspiring moment — a space where global experts, researchers, and innovators gathered to explore the latest breakthroughs in robotics, artificial intelligence, and automation.
South Korea, which today boasts the world’s highest robot density — nearly 1,000 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers — stands as a global leader in industrial automation, particularly in the electronics and automotive sectors.
Among the standout innovations presented were:
-
The ROii level 4 autonomous vehicle by Autonomous A2Z;
-
The PARKY smart parking robot by HL Robotics;
-
The EV Air Station ceiling-mounted charging terminal by Hanwa American Corp.;
-
The Flexclear transparent antenna by THN, based on cutting-edge 5.6G technology.
In the field of medical and security robotics, IMsystem unveiled a miniature robot for vascular procedures, Mobinn presented a road inspection robot, and A4LAB impressed with its XAVE AIR surgical system.
In agriculture, WITHFORCE drew attention with its portable robot Withforce A10, while Meissa captured the jury’s interest with a digital twin and AI solution based on drone technology for industrial site monitoring and decision-making.
Beyond the technology itself, the event highlighted the power of collaboration and the importance of shared vision.
The forum brought together global institutions and leaders such as NASA, Boston Dynamics, Vecna Robotics, LG, TÜV, Vector Institute, and Fraunhofer IML, whose insights bridged research, innovation, and human impact.
The PAK team’s special recognition went to Fraunhofer IML, for its remarkable reflection on intelligent supply chains and sustainable production systems.
PAK was represented alongside Jacques E., promoter of Spare Robotics, who is currently supporting the Port in developing a promising proof of concept — a marine drone capable of real-time water quality analysis.
Whether in robotics, AI, or automation, the true challenge remains the same: to design autonomous systems that extend human capabilities while keeping people at the center.
As emphasized throughout the event, no innovation can thrive without vision — and without education.
