[Incheon Center for Creative Economy & Innovation’s Youth Global Launchpad Program] High-speed production, full automation, and customized equipment manufacturing enable smart factory integration

GELKO specializes in the manufacturing and sales of softgel capsule production equipment. The company was founded in December 2020 by CEO Jeong-soo Ma.According to Ma, "GELKO manufactures softgel capsule production equipment and provides a comprehensive solution for manufacturers, covering everything from gelatin production and softgel molding to drying and inspection.""Common supplements like omega-3, UDCA (Urusa), and lutein come in soft capsule form. To produce these, a soft capsule manufacturing line is required, which consists of a softgel encapsulation machine, dryer, sorter, and tank. Softgel formulations are not limited to health supplements but are also used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial products. Their applications continue to expand based on size and shape variations. GELKO develops and sells the equipment and technology required for soft capsule production. Based on customer requirements, we develop and supply equipment that can produce capsules in custom shapes, sizes, and gelatin properties, beyond standard models."GELKO’s equipment stands out with its high-speed production, full automation, customized equipment manufacturing, production history tracking, and smart factory integration. Unlike older models, GELKO's machines offer real-time monitoring of both defective and non-defective products, production time, downtime, and operating hours. Additionally, operator-specific machine usage can be tracked, and security features such as login authentication can be enabled.Beyond manufacturing equipment, GELKO also provides turnkey production formulation services and technology transfer. This allows clients to collaborate with GELKO from A to Z in setting up a softgel production line without worrying about technical complexities. The company offers comprehensive support for every step of the production process.Under the leadership of CEO Ma, who has extensive experience in international pharmaceutical equipment s

A Virtual is a company specializing in the research and development of visible-light photocatalysts and and their applications in advanced material components. It was founded in April 2020 by CEO Taejun Kim (34).Before founding A Virtual in 2020, Kim was a founding member of a promising energy startup in Gwangju, where he spent five years learning strategic business planning and organizational management. His dedication led to a promotion to COO, where he oversaw business development at the company’s branch in Gurgaon, India. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to Korea."While living in India, I frequently suffered from throat infections due to poor air quality. During that time, I came across an article saying that millions of people die each year in India because of air pollution. This realization drove me to pursue my long-held dream of starting a business to address this issue. Founded in April 2020, A Virtual initially focused on eliminating airborne viruses through research and development, real-world validation, and public procurement, securing access to government sales channels. Despite being an early-stage startup, we quickly achieved export success and have consistently grown at an annual rate of 130%. Now, with our breakthrough visible-light-responsive material, we are driving innovations in air, water, and energy."Raven is an advanced chemistry-based material developed by A Virtual, leveraging five years of expertise in photocatalyst materials and the collective research capabilities of its R&D team. Photocatalysts are substances that absorb light energy to trigger chemical reactions, with titanium dioxide (TiO₂) being the most widely used photocatalyst globally. Unlike traditional catalysts, photocatalysts remain stable over time while effectively breaking down pollutants and inducing chemical reactions, making them a key sustainable environmental technology. The core principle of photocatalysis involves light absor
