Nanoelectronics, a tech company based in Daejeon and led by CEO Youngtae Kim, received a CES 2024 Innovation Award at the world’s largest consumer electronics show, held in Las Vegas from January 10 to 12, 2024.
The company showcased its advanced nano copper heating film, a next-generation material that offers up to 90% higher energy efficiency compared to conventional heating products. This innovative material significantly reduces energy consumption while providing excellent heat distribution.
CES 2024 hosted more than 3,500 companies from around the world, and 310 companies were selected as Innovation Award honorees. Nanoelectronics’ recognition is expected to further highlight the technological competitiveness of Korean companies on the global stage.
CES 2024 Daejeon Pavilion: Energy and Nano Copper Film Heating Technology
Previous attempts to replace heating wires explored advanced materials such as CNTs and graphene. However, these solutions faced manufacturing challenges, including complex processes and high material costs, which made it difficult to achieve cost-effective mass production.
Nanoelectronics overcame these limitations by using copper-based nano fibers, which significantly reduce material costs and enable roll-to-roll mass production. The company’s core technologies include:
- Copper nano fiber synthesis and processing
- Nano fiber control and multilayer patterning technology
- Proprietary end-to-end manufacturing equipment development
- A portfolio of seven key patents related to nano heating materials
In 2023, Nanoelectronics achieved the world’s first mass production of a 25-meter large-area sheet-type heating film. In 2024, the company began supplying this new material for snow-melting construction projects at schools, public institutions, and roads, quickly gaining attention in the snow-melting sector for its innovative materials and construction methods.
Conventional electric heating wires are estimated to account for about 17% of total global carbon emissions. By replacing these wires with Nanoelectronics’ 3D Nano Heater, which can reduce energy consumption by around 60%, it is theoretically possible to reduce up to 10% of global carbon emissions.

Global Recognition and Future Vision
Thanks to these innovations, Nanoelectronics received the CES 2024 Innovation Award in the energy materials category. During CES in Las Vegas, the company attracted strong interest and purchase inquiries from companies around the world.
Nanoelectronics expects sales of approximately 6 billion KRW from the snow-melting sector alone in the first half of the year. Based on this revenue, the company plans to expand R&D into various application fields and continue developing next-generation heating materials that can replace outdated heating wires worldwide.
Through these efforts, Nanoelectronics aims to become both a global advanced materials company and a socially responsible enterprise that makes a meaningful contribution to reducing carbon emissions.
