These epidemics and pandemics are mainly caused by viruses living in every parts of our lives. That is why now more than ever, hygiene control and management have become an important issue in our lives. Generally, sterilizers are divided into 3 types: C₂H₆O based, NaClO based and HOCI(Hypochlorous acid) based. The C₂H₆O based sterilizers are alcohol sterilizers mainly used as hand sanitizers.

A Korean middle-market company, which is looking for a proven reformer technology for hydrogen refueling station, is specialized in providing machine engineering service and advanced chemical material management system for semiconductor and display companies for more than 30 years. Recently, they have entered bio, pharmaceutical, water treatment and aerospace industry as well.

A Korean textile R&D institute is looking for a project idea on a machine that produces nonwoven fabric since the government has allocated an R&D budget of around 4M Euros for developing a machine that produces nonwoven fabric. Nonwoven fabric can be used in making the wrapping paper, baby/adult diapers, sanitary napkin, face mask, disposable cover/bag, nonwoven fabric for a hospital(surgical use). In Korea, a biodegradable film using corn starch is being used for wrapping the products and for manufacturing face mask.

Wearable devices, attachable to human body has led to the next generation of electronic devices with the development of the technology in sensor, communication and materials/components such as the improvement of battery life. However, it is difficult that wireless communication, mainly used for wearable device, allows devices to be micro-sized with ultra-low power and have security system against wireless hacking. A Korean R&D research institute has developed a low-power on-body human communication technology for wearable device.
