From 6 to 9 January, Las Vegas, USA, hosted the world’s most influential technology exhibition — CES 2026 (Consumer Electronics Show) — bringing together more than 4,000 companies from dozens of countries and hundreds of thousands of visitors. Participants showcased their latest developments and start-ups across fields including AI, robotics, digital health, mobility, and beyond.

This year, the Ukrainian Pavilion, organised by DroneUA in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, was presented in the Global Pavilions area, which united hundreds of technological ecosystems — from applied engineering solutions and system integration to new products at the intersection of AI and manufacturing technologies. The pavilion featured mature companies such as DroneUA | Futurology, BEETLESS, VATAG, N-IX, FarmFleet, as well as start-ups including 3D UTU, DOZOR AI by VARTA, HEFT, Ovul, Tykho Electronics, Shapid AGV – Robotic Platform, Sirocco Energy, Lanka Robotics.

«The common denominator for all participants is engineering rigour and a strong focus on results. Solutions are designed to be tested in real-world scenarios, brought to stable operation, and scaled through partnerships. Within the Ukrainian ecosystem, this cycle is often faster than in many mature markets: teams move quickly from early-stage development to products ready for international integration and become embedded in global innovation chains, relying on cooperation with universities, R&D centres, and applied industrial partners», — noted representatives of DroneUA.
