Korea Innovation Foundation (INNOPOLIS), currently operating the 2025 Global Technology Commercialization Support Program (North America), announces that 2 innovative companies, LEEBIO, and Airlab are chosen for the support program.
This initiative selects innovative technology companies in the fields of machinery, energy, AI/IoT and bio health. The program provides comprehensive consulting support to help these companies apply their technologies and products on a trial basis to local facilities or projects operated by overseas companies and institutions, enabling on-site commercialization.
1. LEEBIO – AI-driven water quality tester
The first company, LEEBIO, announced on the 6th that its next-generation smart water management device, AQUAL Pro S, won the Digital Healthcare Innovation Award at CES 2026. The device introduces AI Predictive Prevention, which analyzes regional and historical water quality data to anticipate potential contamination before it occurs. This allows users to take preventive action rather than respond after issues arise.
AQUAL Pro S also links water quality data with personal health information, offering customized hydration guidance, filter replacement alerts, and health reports—an approach that reframes water monitoring as part of daily wellness, earning strong praise from CES judges.
Ease of use has been enhanced through the integration of optical, turbidity, and electrochemical sensors into a single compact unit, delivering lab-level performance for everyday users.
A major improvement is its bacterial detection time, reduced from the typical 48 hours to about 12 hours using fluorescence-based technology—enabling faster decisions in food, hospitality, and water treatment industries.
The device measures over 20 indicators, including turbidity, TDS, temperature, and bacteria, with real-time results displayed via screen and mobile app.
At CES 2026, LEEBIO will showcase AQUAL Pro S at the K-water Pavilion (Eureka Park, Venetian Expo, Hall G — 62833), highlighting its design, sensor system, and interface.
A company spokesperson stated that AQUAL Pro S sets a new benchmark for intelligent water quality management by combining AI-driven prediction with personalized health insights. This CES Innovation Award marks a significant milestone for the company, and they will continue strengthening their leadership in the global WaterTech sector.
