CES 2016 is a week away and Samsung Electronics has a slew of things it intends to announce at the event. Samsung has revealed that it will be offering a demo of three of its C-Lab or Creative Lab projects.
Samsung made the announcement on Wednesday, Dec. 30, and it will be the first time its innovation program C-Lab will be demoed in front of an audience. The three C-Lab projects which Samsung intends to unwrap at the CES 2016 are WELT, Rink and TipTalk.
The projects will be shown off at Eureka Park (in Hall G) from Jan. 6 to Jan. 9, 2016. Since the projects are still being developed, Samsung is keen on sharing them in order to assess the market viability. The demo will also allow Samsung to garner invaluable feedback from CES attendees. This will help the company to make the necessary alterations and improvements.
Samsung's C-Lab program is designed to aid employees to cultivate their creative business ideas. The initiative was started in 2012 and offers support for over 100 projects. Nearly 70 C-Lab projects have been completed and 40 are being developed further by the company's business units.
In 2015, Samsung identified 9 projects as having high potential and therefore assisted these teams to launch external startups that are fully functional independent business units such as Innomdle Lab which invented TipTalk.

While there is plenty of buzz surrounding these three projects Samsung will unveil at the CES 2016, one wonders what are these products about and what sets them apart from the crowd.
