The largest consumer technology show CES was held in Las Vegas. Here is a list of Ukrainian startups that went there

This year, eight projects went to CES as part of the Ukrainian pavilion, which was organized by the Western NIS Enterprise Fund (WNISEF), Concepter company, and UVCA. According to Vlad Tislenko, a co-founder of the Concepter company, this year startups are well prepared for the exhibition.

“Everyone came with functioning prototypes or pre-production samples of their products. The goals of all participants are similar: to accelerate business development. This includes finding new partners, retailers and investors, as well as a product demonstration for the media. After the first day of the show, each company has already achieved the first results. We are very pleased with the beginning,” notes Tislenko.

The representatives of the Ukrainian pavilion are the following starups:
