The Incheon Center for Creative Economy & Innovation held the '2025 Startup Pathfinder Competition' awards ceremony and performance sharing session, providing a venue to share the achievements of early-stage startups that grew through the program. This event was organized to summarize each team's progress and strengthen networking to lead to subsequent investments and collaborations. The event took place on the 4th at the Sheraton Grand Incheon Hotel, attended by approximately 30 people, including Incheon Center officials, selected companies, and the operating partner PaceMakers. At the site, alongside sharing individual company performances, exchange sessions were operated between participants to lead to practical connections (investment/business cooperation/follow-up support). The Grand Prize went to HK Logistics, which received a prize of 10 million KRW. WALK101 was selected for the Top Excellence Award (Grand Prize equivalent) and received 5 million KRW. The Excellence Award was taken by Neuronsoft, with a prize of 3 million KRW. The total prize pool for this competition was 18 million KRW. WALK101 has been developing its product in a direction that automatically calculates indicators needed in the musculoskeletal X-ray analysis process and provides them in a structured form that is easy to use in medical fields. The company emphasized that it can make the analysis and reporting flow smoother in clinical environments where repetitive work burdens are high, and it continues to attempt to widen its actual scope of application. The Incheon Center plans to expand investment connections and collaboration opportunities even after the program so that the teams verified through this competition can quickly connect to the next stage.
