Under pressure on multiple fronts, Samsung is seeking out the next big thing beyond smartphones or memory chips to power the company’s future growth. Here's a rare look inside Samsung's secretive ideas lab in Suwon, South Korea.

. By 2018, Harman-Samsung was the No. 1 distributor of auto-infotainment components, worth around $5 billion revenue, according to Strategy Analytics.

CNN’s Kristie Lu Stout tries on Samsung’s Gait Enhancing & Motivating System — an exoskeleton that assists walking by analyzing and supporting the user's gait.As soon as I enter Samsung’s Advanced Institute of Technology , I recognize him: “Roboray,” Samsung’s walking humanoid robot, suspended behind a low cubicle wall in a far corner of the robotics lab.

For Samsung, health care is not a new field. The larger conglomerate has been in the space since it opened a hospital, the Samsung Medical Center in Korea in 1994. But like a lot of its rivals, Samsung Electronics sees the convergence of medicine and tech as a big industry ripe for disruption. And of course, there are huge revenue possibilities there, too:GEMS is still in development mode, but the race to market is on.

Perhaps the biggest innovation in Digital City isn’t actually a product but a place. The C-Lab is the heart of Samsung’s Digital City. It’s a bright, colorful workspace with a mission to cultivate the next big idea.Samsung says any employee can apply to enter the C-Lab and become an innovation leader regardless of job title and experience. Ideas are submitted through an online ideas platform.
