Korea International Trade Association (Chairman Christopher KOO) and KDB Korea Development Bank (Chairman & CEO KANG Seog-hoon) held the NextRise Awards Ceremony on June 1 at COEX in Seoul, Korea. The ceremony was a part of NextRise 2023, Asia’s largest startup innovation fair.

Now in its fifth year, NextRise Seoul has become a significant platform for startups. This year, over 1,200 venture and startup companies, along with 200 large and medium-sized enterprises, participated, resulting in approximately 3,200 1:1 business consultations, expected to exceed the number of successful business collaboration from last year’s records.

To further bolster the growth of this event, the NextRise Awards were established this year to encourage the development of promising startups and promote their innovative technologies and ideas. A total of 332 domestic and foreign startups applied for the awards, and after a rigorous evaluation process based on technology and marketability, 14 companies were selected as winners.

During the official ceremony, Mopic, a startup with technology that implements 3D effects on flat-panel displays, received the prestigious Grand Innovation Prize.

The Best Innovation Prize was awarded to three outstanding companies. Keytalk.AI, which provides advanced prompt engineering solutions for AI transformation; JoinandJoin, a high-performance vegan food tech company; and Kabuk, a Japanese travel fintech startup, were honored for their contributions.

The Innovation Prize category recognized 10 startups with AI-based business models that have attracted significant attention. Among them were Pillyze, a health tech startup that offers personalized AI solutions for health management; Pion Corporation, an AI-based startup that automatically produces advertisement videos in large quantities with only product URLs; Wrtn Technologies, which provides an AI assistant called ‘Wrtn’ based on generative AI technologies; Superbin, a circular resource startup using AI and robotics; and DeepX, a company equipped with high-efficiency AI semiconductor technology that can be applied to production processes such as robot platforms, among others.

Additional recipients of the Innovation Prize included Roen Surgical, which develops flexible endoscopic surgical robots; Organoid Sciences, which has regenerative treatment and drug efficacy evaluation platform technologies; Astron Security, which provides integrated cloud security solutions; and FTD Solutions, an industrial water resource management system startup in the U.S.

Executive Vice Chairman JEONG Marn-ki of the Korea International Trade Association stated, “We have witnessed an overwhelming level of interest and participation from numerous startups in this year’s inaugural NextRise Awards, surpassing our expectations. In a global economic landscape where the momentum of growth is weakening, we look forward to the technologies and ideas of the innovation champions selected through the NextRise Awards becoming catalysts for innovative growth and economic vitality.”

He further added, “As the first awards ceremony was successfully held, we have plans to actively support the NextRise Awards in the future, enabling them to serve as a gateway for startups with innovative technologies and potential, allowing them to make their debut on the global stage.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Receives Endorsement of Major Veterans’ Organization for the 2024 Cycle

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Receives Endorsement of Major Veterans’ Organization for the 2024 Cycle

The Veterans for Trump endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Greene was issued today by the national veterans organization. Veterans for Trump was founded in 2015 as part of the original Trump Campaign Collation and later operated a non profit known as Veterans for America First. Currently the group is part of the 2024 Trump campaign collation under the direction of Admiral Charles Kubic their national spokesman and President Stan Fitzgerald , a retired police detective. The organization speaks for millions of conservative veterans and is considered an influential primary endorsement.

The organization also has a Georgia state chapter led by attorney Jared Craig who will be carrying the endorsement of rep Greene at the state level as well. https://georgiavfaf.org

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke last evening at her town hall event, for constituents only, in Cobb County Georgia. Veterans for Trump’s Donna and Stan Fitzgerald were among the invited guests. Upon arriving some in the large crowd awaiting entry were expressing their dismay with the debt ceiling vote. Rep Greene took the town hall stage and explained in detail all the factors why she voted the way she did and when the event ended her speech and Q&A session was met with a standing ovation, no further dismay from her voters. The complete speech can be viewed at https://veteransfortrump.us/news

“Marjorie was aware that 12 Republicans were signing onto a petition by the Democrats if this was not passed which would have given everything the Democrats and Establishment wanted. Marjorie voted the right way resulting in a 1% decrease and an attachment for dividing future omnibus bills to have sections voted on. This was a win for American conservatives,” said Pamela Reardon, a Cobb County Georgia 2020 Presidential Delegate who attended the town hall.

“Congresswoman Greene has always been loyal to our country, her constituents, our America First agenda and to President Trump. Rep. Greene stands with our veterans and first responders; in fact, she gave personal assistance from her office to a vet at the town hall meeting last night. At Veterans for Trump we appreciate loyalty and those who fight for our country like Marjorie does so we are announcing today our organizational endorsement for the 2024 congressional election cycle,” said Stan Fitzgerald president Veterans for Trump.

The Veterans team will be set up at the Georgia state GOP convention June 9th and 10th in Columbus Georgia with FBI Whistleblower Steve Friend doing meet and greets at their tables. The Group also sponsored the John Fredericks bus tour which will be at the convention promoting some of their nationally endorsed candidates including Caroline Jeffords, Salleigh Grubbs, Marci McCArthy and Vikki Consiglio.

‘Doubling Down: The Secret Sauce for Dual-Career Families’ by Ilene Gordon and Bram Bluestein, Now Available in Hardcover Edition

Learn Rewirement and Work-Life Integration From the C-Suite Couple Who’s Done It for 45 Years

Ilene Gordon and Bram Bluestein, the C-suite couple that has been practicing rewirement and work-life integration for 45 years, has released the hardcover edition of Doubling Down: The Secret Sauce for Dual-Career Families. For anyone who desires to excel in a big career, sustain a loving relationship, and raise children who grow up to be happy and healthy adults, this is the playbook that reveals the new elixir to making it all work in 2023 and beyond. 

“The ability to model all that an enriching, fulfilling life can be for your children while also managing rigorous work schedules as high-level executives is nothing short of heroic,” said Elliott Wislar, CEO of Clearbrook. “Bram and Ilene are modern role models for us all, in fact, epitomizing a grand American dream. I’m inspired by the many examples in their book but also, fueled to be more self-aware and intentional as a leader and parent. This is quite a unique guide.” 

Examples in Doubling Down are poignant and timely, with loads of research underscoring their advice. Both authors shaped rigorous careers and crisscrossed the world in their roles while “doubling down” on their family needs in sometimes creative ways. They learned to be supportive partners, agree on compromises, and evolve in their professional identities while keeping family first. 

Ilene Gordon served as CEO of Ingredion, a Fortune 500 company, and was named five times to Fortune’s “50 Most Powerful Women in Business” U.S. list, and twice to Fortune’s international list. Bram Bluestein held senior leadership positions at several of the most respected consulting firms in the world, including Boston Consulting Group, Kearney, and Booz Allen Hamilton. Since the release of their first edition of Doubling Down, Ilene and Bram have brought their message to Chicago Finance Exchange, The Wharton Club, MIT Sloan, Columbia Business School, Loyola University’s Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise & Responsibility, Stanford Law School, and many others.
