Від advanced manufacturing до AI та Med-tech: 8 українських стартапів стали частиною Українського павільйону на CES 2026

In recent years, the Ukrainian technology ecosystem has learned to operate in a systemic mode, moving beyond isolated developments. By combining automation and manufacturing thinking, Ukrainian engineers integrate them into products that can be reproduced, supported, and scaled. This environment has been shaped by teams with a strong engineering culture and a practical results-driven focus — where integration into real processes, repeatable metrics, and long-term operational value matter. It is precisely this systemic maturity that the Ukrainian ecosystem is bringing to the international level at CES 2026.

As early as tomorrow, January 6, 2026, the Consumer Electronics Show will begin in Las Vegas — one of the key events in the global technology calendar. The Ukrainian tech ecosystem will be represented at CES for the second time with its own Ukrainian Pavilion, and this year for the first time — in the Global Pavilions area, where countries are presented as integrated technology ecosystems.

 

The startup block of the Ukrainian Pavilion includes 8 teams working in areas where global market demand for innovation has already been formed: additive technologies, AI and IoT, MedTech, alternative energy, and robotics for STEM and R&D. Together, these teams are shaping a “new layer” of Ukrainian products — solutions with which it is possible to enter international partnerships and build long-term scaling in global markets: 

  • 3D UTU— the first Ukrainian construction 3D printer capable of “printing” 3D houses. 
  • DOZOR AI by VARTA— an autonomous artificial intelligence module for kinetic interceptors of FPV drones. 
  • HEFT— an IoT and AI system for detecting cow fertility and health, helping farmers increase productivity while reducing costs. 
  • Ovul— platform for tracking women’s hormonal health that uses AI and a microscope to analyze saliva, identifies estrogen patterns, and generates personalized health recommendations. 
  • Sirocco Energy— developer of decentralized wind power generation optimized for suburban wind conditions, enabling energy independence for businesses and communities while reducing electricity costs. 
  • Lanka Robotics— developer of innovative robotic platforms for STEM education, scientific research, and experimental practical applications. 

 

 

The teams presented in the Ukrainian Pavilion operate in technology domains that shape the competitiveness of economies: automation, data, advanced manufacturing, energy, robotics, and digital health. The common denominator for all participants is engineering rigor and a results-driven approach: solutions are designed to be tested in real-world scenarios, brought to stable operation, and scaled through partnerships. In the Ukrainian ecosystem, this cycle is completed faster than in many mature markets: teams move in a short time from early-stage development to products ready for international integrations, and become embedded in global innovation value chains — supported by cooperation with universities, R&D centers, and applied industrial partners. 

 

CES 2026 attendees will be able to meet the Ukrainian teams within the Ukrainian Pavilion in the Global Pavilions area at booth №50352 and discuss partnerships — from distribution and co-development to pilot deployments and investment scenarios. 

The Ukrainian Pavilion at CES 2026 is organized by DroneUA in partnership with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, with the support of the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco, the U.S. Commercial Service in Ukraine, and the Ukraine–Moldova American Enterprise Fund.
