Samsung launched its C-Lab or Creative Lab program back in 2012. It's a startup business program for the company's employees that encourages them to work on innovative ideas. Samsung provides them with support and successful ideas are subsequently launched as independent companies that are supported by Samsung. 25 C-Lab projects have been turned into businesses so far.
Samsung today announced that five more startups launched by its employees are being spun off from its C-Lab division. The five projects select this year are applying innovative thinking and the latest technology to create new products.
These products include Bebefit which is a baby carrier that protects infants in an easy and smart way, chikapong – Kids’ Toothbrushes that help them develop good dental habits, Internet-connected devices for kids that connect to toys called TagPlus, the S-Skin home skin care solution and a portable device that recommends cosmetics based on skin analysis called Lumini.
The teams also demonstrated their products at CES 2017 earlier this year and have incorporate feedback from consumers and industry experts to improve them.
