Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh(SRBD)’s cafeteria buzz with excitement for the AI PoC Exhibition on July 24, 2025. 16 PoCs showcased the exceptional talent and dedication of SRBD’s engineers. The journey began when SRBD invited all employees to propose AI solutions through an AI PoC Contest. From dozens of submissions, 16 standout ideas were selected, and each team spent half a year refining its concept, developing working prototypes, and crafting polished demonstrations.

The Tech Strategy Part of R&D Operation Group, spearheaded by Nizam Khan, organized the exhibition. The event opened with a keynote address by Steve Seikwon Kim, SRBD’s Chief Operating Officer. He emphasized the strategic importance of AI for the company’s future and praised the teams for their relentless innovation. His words set an enthusiastic tone, reminding everyone that the day was about collaboration and forward thinking as much as competition.

Once the speech concluded, attendees explored booths covering a wide range of domains. Each exhibit featured interactive demos, detailed explanations of algorithms and architectures, and real-world use cases. Visitors then cast live votes for their five favorite projects, creating a spirited atmosphere as colleagues cheered one another on. Throughout the afternoon, attendees enjoyed giveaways, and a raffle draw awarded attractive prizes to lucky audience members, keeping energy levels high until the final announcements.

In the closing ceremony, Wonmo Ku, Managing Director of SRBD, took the stage to award the top 3 teams. The second runner-up was the ‘Samsung Notes AI Assistant’ from the MDE Solution Group. The first runner-up was ‘MedMimic: Multimodal Synthetic Data Engine for IRB-Free Medical AI’, developed by the Medical Solution Group. The title of champion went to ‘PLM Issue Analysis using Gen AI’, a collaboration between the Biz Solution Group and the Wearable Solution Group. Each winning team received a congratulatory cheque and resounding applause.

In his final remarks, Wonmo Ku emphasized that upskilling in AI is vital for SRBD’s long-term success. He urged everyone to continue their AI upskilling efforts, ensuring that SRBD remains future-proof and becomes a haven for AI development. As the crowd dispersed, it was clear that the AI PoC Exhibition had done more than crown winners—it had ignited fresh ideas and charted a course for SRBD’s AI-driven future.
