From January 8–15, 2026, HERO E&C visited San Francisco and Silicon Valley following CES 2026.
The main event was the UKF 82 Startup Summit 2026, along with startup and technology events at Stanford and across Silicon Valley.
Our CEO, Dr. Seoyoung Kim, P.E., joined meetings with founders and investors, pitched HERO E&C’s vision before venture capital professionals, and connected with technology leaders, including IonQ co-founder Professor Jungsang Kim.
Most companies represented emerging AI, medical, quantum, and digital technologies.
HERO E&C brought a different perspective: the future of civil and water resources engineering.
The AI era is not coming.
It is already here.
HERO E&C is preparing to bring AI-augmented modeling, digital workflows, and smarter decision systems into infrastructure engineering.
“Make Engineers HERO.”
