Lotte E&C held the "2026 Lotte E&C Open Innovation Results Sharing Event" at Le West City in Magok, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, the company announced on the 11th, according to kpinews.kr [1]. The event presented the results of 10 startups in smart construction, robotics and eco-friendly fields that ran proof-of-concept (PoC) tests with the Lotte E&C research institute and related departments [1].

Nine of the companies were selected in the first half of the year through open innovation programs with the Seoul Business Agency (SBA) and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development. The tenth, Rebit, was found by Lotte E&C itself [1].

The participants shared PoC results, know-how and proposals for improvement, and discussed follow-up commercialization for construction sites [1]. With Regenty&I, a recycled aggregate company, Lotte E&C ran a PoC of a floor impact noise reduction system using recycled-soil-based recycled plastic. With Spanner, an equipment monitoring company, it co-developed and tested a smart platform for integrated management of construction equipment data [1].

Lotte E&C plans to pay all 10 startups a PoC excellence-results sharing fee and to continue the open innovation program [1].
