Global advanced technology and lifestyle media outlets have identified the most promising startups at COMEUP 2025, concluding the COMEUP Global Media Awards 2025, which evaluated 275 domestic and international startups participating in the event. The awards ceremony was held, at the Networking Lounge in COEX Hall B, bringing together overseas media journalists and representatives of award-winning companies.
Now in its seventh year, COMEUP is hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and overseen by the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development, with the Korea Startup Forum, the Korea Venture Business Association; and the Korea Venture Capital Association serving as co-organisers. Under the theme “Recode the Future,” COMEUP 2025 focused on how startups are reshaping the global industrial landscape through technological innovation and entrepreneurship.
COMEUP 2025 marked its most significant international footprint to date, welcoming participants from 46 countries. Entrepreneurs, investors, large corporations and government officials from Korea and abroad gathered at the event, engaging through exhibitions, conferences, IR sessions, open innovation programmes, and global networking activities. The event also generated tangible outcomes, facilitating 3,447 investment and business matchings through online platform matching, pre-arranged one-on-one meetings; and on-site investor consultations.
At the centre of global attention was the COMEUP Global Media Awards 2025, in which overseas journalists from four countries selected outstanding startups based on technological capability, innovation and global market potential. Each participating media outlet selected three companies and announced its “BEST OF THE TOP 3,” recognising startups with strong prospects for international expansion.
The global media panel consisted of Innovation & Tech Today from the United States, Le Café Du Geek from France, Arageek from the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam Plus from Vietnam. These outlets, each with extensive experience covering deep tech and emerging industries, conducted on-site evaluations throughout COMEUP 2025.
The 12 startups selected as “BEST OF THE TOP 3” will receive dedicated coverage in each media outlet’s home country, a benefit expected to accelerate their global market entry, enhance international brand recognition and open new business and investment opportunities.
Through the successful conclusion of the COMEUP Global Media Awards 2025, COMEUP once again demonstrated its position as a gateway for innovative startups to connect with global media, investors and partners—helping transform promising ideas into globally competitive businesses.
