Український павільйон на CES 2026 в межах державно-приватного партнерства: хто стане технологічним обличчям країни
Published on  Updated on  

Over the past decade, Ukraine's tech sector has evolved from an outsourcing model to an environment focused on creating applied solutions for global markets. A strong engineering culture, a focus on automation, and the ability to tackle complex challenges have formed an ecosystem of teams ready to integrate into global industrial processes. Thus, the participation of Ukrainian teams at CES 2026 confirms this maturity and showcases technologies with real-world impact and long-term value.

The Consumer Electronics Show 2026 will take place from January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas (USA) — one of the largest and most influential technology events in the world. For the second time, the Ukrainian tech ecosystem will be represented at CES with its own Ukrainian Pavilion, which this year will for the first time be part of the Global Pavilions — a global exhibition zone that brings together national tech ecosystems from around the world, as well as global giants in the field of innovation.

Organized by DroneUA in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, the Ukrainian Pavilion will bring together mature scale-up companies and promising startups in a single exhibition space, showcasing a systemic approach, engineering maturity, and a long-term strategy for integration into the global tech community. These are teams that have evolved from ambitious ideas to scalable products and businesses capable of meeting the demands of global markets.

Ukraine's participation in CES 2026 is an example of a new generation of inter-institutional collaboration, where the state acts as a catalyst for the development of the tech and startup ecosystem, while business contributes with practical expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and an established international presence. This model helps to create a sustainable infrastructure for the international integration of Ukrainian technologies.

This year, the face of Ukraine's tech industry will be represented by mature technology companies in the fields of unmanned technologies and robotics, logistics and environmental solutions for sustainable development, as well as software and engineering products based on Data & AI, including:

  • DroneUA | Futurologyinternational integrators of unmanned aerial systems, robotics, AI, and clean technologies, focused on deploying innovative solutions across agriculture, energy, and emergency response sectors globally.
  • BEETLESSdeveloper of an eco-friendly, non-chemical pest control solution based on the natural instincts of harmful insects while preserving essential species, including pollinators.
  • VATAGthe developer of unmanned ground platforms for complex logistics tasks in a risky environment where human work can be dangerous. The platform features a hybrid power system, autonomous navigation, AI mapping. Transporting module suited for mining industry, forestry, work in a disaster areas and other.
  • N-IXglobal AI-driven software engineering company that helps industry leaders accelerate innovation and build intelligent, scalable solutions powered by Data & AI, Cloud, Embedded Systems, IoT, and Computer Vision.
  • FarmFleetspecialized online platform designed to optimize business processes in the rapidly growing market of spray drone services and the broader agricultural service sector.

The startup section of the Ukrainian Pavilion reflects the next stage in the development of the tech ecosystem — teams working at the intersection of additive technologies, artificial intelligence, IoT and AI systems, Med-tech, innovations in alternative energy, and robotic solutions for educational and R&D applications. They offer new approaches to product development, laying the foundation for scaling Ukrainian solutions in global markets in the coming years:

  • 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.
  • Tykho Electronics — manufacturer of electronics for drones.
  • Shapid AGV – Robotic Platform — an AGV robotic system for warehouse automation based on the Goods-to-Person principle.
  • 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 selected for the Ukrainian Pavilion possess high expertise in technological areas that are of strategic importance for the development and economic resilience of Ukraine. They are united by a shared value system focused on continuous development, engineering improvement, the implementation of innovative technologies, and the creation of solutions with real-world impact. Ukrainian teams demonstrate exceptional scalability — the journey from young, ambitious startups to mature technology scale-ups is completed in a short time, integrating into international innovation chains and securing support from leading educational and research institutions. A striking example is BEETLESS: a company that participated in CES 2025 as a promising startup, now operating as a full-scale company with its own laboratory at East Stroudsburg University (ESU) in Pennsylvania, and this year will strengthen the group of mature companies.

The teams of the Ukrainian Pavilion are traditionally united by the Fleet of Millions initiative — a unique platform for the development of innovations in unmanned and robotic technologies. The initiative serves as a launchpad for innovators and provides access to one of the largest ecosystems in the world, encompassing unmanned aerial systems, robotic platforms, counter-tech solutions, and related engineering fields, creating conditions for scaling solutions in global markets.

The Ukrainian Pavilion is implemented with the support of the Ukrainian Consulate General in San Francisco, the U.S. Department of Commerce Commercial Service in Ukraine, and the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund, highlighting the institutional level of international collaboration surrounding Ukrainian technologies. This inter-institutional interaction ensures a direct link between Ukrainian companies and the American tech and investment ecosystem, opening opportunities for partnerships, market entry into the U.S., and long-term economic cooperation.

The Ukrainian Pavilion at CES is a consolidated representation of Ukraine's readiness to be a full-fledged participant in the global technological dialogue, showcasing the country's strongest engineering and entrepreneurial teams — those already operating at the level of global markets and shaping competitive advantages in their industries.
