This edition's theme was "Our Ubermensch," expressing the idea that each employee should set higher standards for themselves, continue to grow, and bring together their individual challenges and innovations to drive change at the company.

Fifteen exhibition booths showcased a range of internal innovation initiatives, and employees shared their achievements, as well as experiences and ideas gained while pursuing projects. Key examples of digital and AI-driven work innovations included an AI-based job-training tutor using the Socratic method; internal applications of physical AI, including drones, robots, and smart helmets; and a research-report writing agent built on a multi-agent architecture.

Employees also shared new initiatives at work that depart from conventional practices, including an energy-saving project at the Yeosu plant and a catalyst procurement process optimization project to support data-driven decision-making. Company-wide strategic projects were also presented, including the development of a next-generation ERP system to integrate and redesign processes, data, and systems, and a coprocessing process for biofuel production.

GS Caltex Vice Chairman Huh Sehong visited the event, toured the booths, spoke with employees who had led innovation projects, and encouraged their new initiatives and challenges. One example presented was how DAX trends and references, which Vice Chairman Huh has consistently followed since taking office, led to the development of an AI tutor for job training. DAX refers to digital and AI transformation using AiU, a term combining AI and oil, developed on MISO, the group's shared AX platform. GS Caltex has developed the "Socratic AI Tutor" to support on-site learning for junior engineers in the Production Division and the "Finance Division AI Tutor" to help improve professional expertise in the Finance Office.

Vice Chairman Huh Sehong encouraged employees, saying, "The challenges of each individual come together to create innovation and shape the future of the entire company. When the changes people make in their respective roles by going beyond existing limits are connected and spread, they can contribute to GS Caltex's growth."

GS Group Chairman Huh Taesoo also attended the event. Chairman Huh said, "We need to shift our perspective: rather than simply adding digital tools to existing work, we should design work and processes around digital technology from the outset. I hope you will use digital technology to connect work, respond to change, and achieve strong results."
