For more than 50 years, the annual CES convention – formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show – has been a showcase of all the latest innovations, devices and gadgets, and a mainstay of the calendar for tech industry executives, thought leaders, investors, and journalists. As in past years, Israel’s presence will be strongly felt at the upcoming CES 2019 from Jan. 8-11, with some of the Startup Nation’s most cutting-edge companies showcasing their solutions for an estimated 182,000 attendees.

Held in Las Vegas every year since 1978, CES reliably garners global headlines as a forum for companies to announce product launches and new technologies in areas including autotech, wearables, mobile tech, TV and audio/video tech, AI, robotics, and AR/VR – domains in which Israeli innovation is widely acclaimed.

Companies from more than 40 countries will exhibit their solutions in these and other sectors at Eureka Park, where some of the most promising startups introduce their technologies to CES attendees, identify new partnership opportunities, and build connections with investors. The Israel Export Institute and the Foreign Trade Administration of Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry are once again behind Israel’s national pavilion at Eureka Park, which will showcase 22 cutting-edge Israeli companies. Here’s a sneak peek at some of this year’s featured companies:
