Compo Labs won an Innovation Award in the Enterprise Tech category for “doodll.ai,” an AI agent-based product design platform. The technology provides conversational support for the process, from planning and developing ideas to visualization and 3D modeling.

CENS won an Innovation Award in the “Products in Support of Human Security for All” category for “CENS-D130,” an AI-based, waterless thermal management platform.

The solution uses liquid-cooling technology to address thermal management challenges in data centers, ships, and energy storage systems (ESS). It is scheduled to launch in December 2026. In September, it was also selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ TIPS program.

Dankook University also plans to expand its “Global X Program” and extend support to student- and faculty-founded startups on campus, as well as other companies in its incubation program.
