The Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) showcased its future smart city concept during CES 2025 in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 139-square-meter (1,496-square-foot) Incheon-IFEZ booth was themed around the catchphrase “Urban Renaissance: Building Tomorrow’s Smart Cities Today.”

“Incheon […] is creating a sustainable city where technology, people and the environment can be in harmony,” the city's mayor, Yoo Jeong-bok, said in a video message at the Unveiled Incheon media stage during the showcase.

“Incheon will be a city where all corporations and institutions around the world would like to work together, becoming the center of international cooperation.”

The booth features 10 Incheon-based companies: Deep Fusion AI, a 4D imaging radar solution firm; Pablo Air, which produces drones and aerial vehicles; cleaning robot company Sheco; ZipShowkorea, which produces AI-generated videos; Ilias AI, which is developing a robotic sniffer dog that scans for drugs in airports; Verses, who developed the metaverse service for girl group aespa, and more.

“IFEZ will be a pioneer as a global smart city by sharing the IFEZ-specific smart city model, fostering innovative startups and establishing a bio cluster,” IFEZ Commissioner Yoon Won-seok said.

Consisting of Songdo, Cheongra and Yeongjong Island, IFEZ contains designated areas designed to attract foreign investment, including a startup park in Songdo.
