As the world's largest 'IT technology exhibition', CES leads the world's technological innovation and exerts a strong influence on all fields, including industry, economy, and society.

One of the mottos of the U.S. Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organizes CES, is "The world comes together to discuss our future."

There are tons of cutting-edge technologies, products, and services competing for attention at CES. It's a competition between companies armed with new technologies and ideas, but it's also a great opportunity to compare the competitiveness of different countries.

It's a great way to not only see the technology trends that are driving global industry right now, but also to get a sneak peek at the innovations that will shape our future. Of course, it's not just about technology, but also about how we can all work together to create a more sustainable world.

Under the theme of "Connect, Solve, Discover, and Dive In," CES 2025, held in Las Vegas from January 7th to 10th, attracted more than 4,500 companies from around the world.

More than 1,000 Korean companies also participated. It was the largest ever. The Eureka Pavilion at the Venetian Campus, which is open to startups and ventures that have been in business for five years or less, attracted more than 1,300 companies from around the world, with Korean companies accounting for nearly half (48%) of the total.
