The Nice Côte d’Azur Metrpolis, in collaboration with the Région Sud, will support the participation of metropolitan startups at CES Las Vegas, scheduled from January 9 to 12, 2024. This initiative is part of a strategic approach to encourage and enhance technological innovation within the region.
The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is a major event in the consumer electronics and IT innovation sectors. Each year, this flagship event attracts over 140,000 visitors and generates an impressive volume of business, approximately 1 trillion dollars in contracts.
The event serves as an unparalleled platform for startups seeking international recognition. It is the ideal place to present innovations, meet key players in the technology sector, and test their products and services with a diverse and demanding audience. Participation in CES represents a valuable opportunity for startups to increase their visibility and expand their professional and commercial networks.
