Over two dozen Israeli-founded companies are taking part in the annual CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) 2021 conference this week, held virtually this year for the first time due to the ongoing global pandemic. The yearly trade show, one of the most important tech events in the world, is usually held in Las Vegas and brings together hundreds of thousands of executives, investors, brands, startups, companies, and organizations looking to unveil or get a sneak-peek into new products and breakthrough technologies in the consumer electronics industry.

“CES 2021 will be making history, with our first all-digital show,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CTA, the organization that runs CES, ahead of the conference running from January 11-14 this year. “This new experience will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors from around the world, showcasing the latest trends and innovation in artificial intelligence, 5G, digital health, smart cities, vehicle tech and beyond.”

Karen Chupka, EVP, CES, CTA said on Tuesday that “audiences across the globe, many for the first time, will participate in a true broadcast event this week. With more than 100 conference sessions, including special entertainment events, attendees will hear the latest topics impacting the industry. They’ll also interact directly with exhibitors and fellow CES attendees, forming business connections for the future.”

Many companies unveil new products and services and make major announcements at CES, and dozens are given special recognition for their technologies. Two Israeli companies – OrCam Technologies and Voiceitt – have already won “Best of Innovation” Awards at CES 2021 so far.

Nineteen Israeli companies are part of the official Israeli virtual pavilion at CES this year, while others are participating individually, as featured exhibitors, or as part of other delegations. These include Vayyar Imaging, Arbe Robotics, Binah.ai, and C2A Security.

Jerusalem-based Mobileye, an Intel company, and Intel Corp are also taking part in the event, with Intel unveiling new Israeli-made processor families, and Mobileye sharing developments in the mobility industry, its expanded global testing footprint, and introducing new solutions that will deliver advanced capabilities in radar and lidar for autonomous vehicles.
