Korean Logistics Tech Company GLEC Inc. Wins Prestigious CES 2026 Innovation Award
LOS ANGELES – GLEC Inc., a South Korean logistics technology company, has been named a CES Innovation Awards® 2026 Honoree in the Supply & Logistics category, bringing pride to the Korean tech community with its innovative AI-powered solution that addresses critical challenges in fleet safety and environmental sustainability. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) selected GLEC's AI Tachograph (DTG) from thousands of submissions worldwide, recognizing the product's groundbreaking integration of artificial intelligence with international carbon tracking standards. The award highlights the growing global competitiveness of Korean technology companies in emerging sectors beyond traditional electronics and automotive industries. Korean Innovation Meets Global Standards GLEC AI Tachograph represents a significant technological achievement: the world's first smart tachograph equipped with a 20B parameter Large Language Model (LLM). The device uses advanced AI to analyze real-time driving conditions and warn drivers of potential hazards through voice and visual alerts, reducing accident risks by 20% to 40%. Simultaneously, the system tracks carbon emissions using ISO-14083 international methodology, helping logistics companies comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations in the United States, Europe, and globally. "This recognition at CES validates that Korean companies can lead innovation in specialized technology sectors," said Deok-ho Kang, Chief Technology Officer at GLEC Inc. "We're proud to represent Korean technological excellence on the world's largest tech stage." Targeting American Market Opportunities The timing of this award is strategic for GLEC Inc.'s expansion into the North American market. The United States logistics industry faces mounting pressure to improve safety standards while meeting new carbon disclosure requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and state-level environmental regulations. GLEC's solution addresses both challenges through a single integrated platform, offering American logistics companies a cost-effective way to comply with multiple regulatory requirements while improving operational efficiency. Eun-woo Kim, Chief Operating Officer, explained: "The American logistics market presents tremendous opportunities. Companies here are actively seeking solutions that can help them meet new carbon reporting requirements while maintaining safety standards. Our CES Innovation Award gives us credibility to engage with major American fleet operators and logistics providers." From Incheon to Las Vegas Based at Incheon Startup Park, GLEC Inc. develops AI-powered digital tachograph systems, API-based carbon calculation platforms, and cloud-based fleet management solutions. The company measures carbon emissions based on ISO-14083 methodology and is pursuing GLEC Tool certification from Smart Freight Centre, an international freight decarbonization organization. The company will exhibit its award-winning product at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6-9, 2026, at the Innovation Awards Showcase at the Venetian Expo. Company representatives will conduct meetings with potential American partners, distributors, and investors throughout the event. Jae-won Ji, Operations Planning Team Manager, noted: "CES 2026 represents a crucial opportunity for us to establish partnerships with American companies. We're scheduling meetings with logistics operators, fleet management companies, and potential investors who recognize the value of our integrated safety and sustainability solution." Building on Korean Tech Success GLEC Inc.'s recognition follows a growing trend of Korean technology companies gaining international acclaim in specialized sectors. While Korean brands have long been recognized in consumer electronics and automotive manufacturing, companies like GLEC are demonstrating Korean innovation in emerging fields such as AI, logistics technology, and environmental solutions. The company's success also reflects the Korean government's support for startup innovation and the robust technology ecosystem that has developed in cities like Incheon and Seoul. About GLEC Inc.
