Following a successful debut in 2025, when the Ukrainian technology ecosystem was presented for the first time with two national pavilions, Ukraine is once again stepping onto the global stage of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) — the world’s largest international exhibition of consumer technologies, taking place on January 6–9, 2026, in Las Vegas, USA.

This year, Ukraine’s presence reaches a new level: for the first time, the country will become part of the global Global Pavilions area, uniting scale-up companies and startups within a single exhibition space — showcasing maturity, consistency, and a long-term strategy for integration into the global technology community. The event will serve as a vivid example of next-generation public–private partnership, where the state acts as a driver for the development of the startup ecosystem, while businesses contribute their expertise, production capabilities, and international connections.

The Ukrainian Pavilion is organized by DroneUA, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the Ukrainian Startup Fund. Together, they are building a platform that opens the way for Ukrainian teams to access global markets, investors, and strategic partners — systematically representing the interests of the Ukrainian technology sector on the international stage.

This year, the joint Ukrainian Pavilion at CES 2026 will bring together 16 teams representing the full spectrum of Ukraine’s technological potential — from established innovative companies with proven track records to startups developing next-generation technologies and showcasing a new vision for the application of innovation.

DroneUA is launching an open call for eight mature companies and scale-ups ready to present their solutions on the international stage. This track focuses on technologically established businesses that already have experience operating in global markets, are scaling production, or are developing high-tech solutions in the fields of engineering, automation, and digital transformation.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, with the support of the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund, are launching a call for eight emerging teams that are developing promising technological solutions and have the potential to scale in the global market.

The Ukrainian Pavilion is supported by  the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Commercial Service team in Ukraine.  This effort aims to build a bridge between Ukrainian innovators and the American technological ecosystem - creating opportunities for investments, partnerships, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of Ukrainian companies in the United States.

The U.S. Commercial Service will provide complimentary CES 2026 Exhibits Plus Pass and other benefits for all qualifying Ukrainian participants attending the trade show.  

The joint exhibition will showcase a comprehensive view of Ukraine’s innovation ecosystem — from scientific developments to commercially mature technological products capable of scaling in global markets.

The participation of the Ukrainian Pavilion at CES 2026 is supported by the Fleet of Millions technological initiative, which unites Ukrainian companies, research centers, and integrators around a shared goal — to strengthen the international presence of Ukrainian technologies and create conditions for sustainable technological development.

Last year’s participation of Ukraine in CES proved that the Ukrainian technology brand has already become globally recognizable. This time, Ukraine returns to strengthen its position, expand partnerships, and bring a new generation of technology companies to the international stage.

CES 2026 will mark another step for Ukraine in advancing technological diplomacy — a framework in which innovation serves not only as a product but also as a tool for international cooperation, economic modernization, and infrastructure recovery, demonstrating that technological leadership carries a Ukrainian code.
