Expanded recruiting department to increase awareness of BabyTech
This year's competition has been expanded to include nine categories, including the "Parent Support Service Category," which includes applications for mommy friends, human resources support for childcare leave, and real estate search services for households raising children, as well as the "Housework Efficiency Category," which includes smart speakers, electric bouncers, and childcare appliances.
The expansion of the judging categories is intended to cover products and services that are familiar to parents, such as childcare appliances, apps for parents, childcare information for parents, and human resources support for childcare leave, so that parents can easily imagine the usage scenarios and easily adopt them, thereby becoming the first step in using BabyTech and gaining recognition. The application covers products and services that are familiar to parents and easy to adopt, such as childcare information and childcare leave personnel support.
