More than 1,100 Start-Ups have used CES as a platform to showcase their products, and been funded at more than $1.5 billion since 2012.

The Pavilion will be at Eureka Park, one of the 11 CES locations and the buzzworthy Start-Up arena. The Startup Package includes space for product presentation, use of the networking area of the Swiss Pavilion for meetings, service package (incl. booth construction, space rental, illumination, power supply, cleaning, organizational support) and a show preparation package (includes industry overview, list of potential partners/relevant contacts & other opportunities). The package price is CHF1’800.
