#SwissTech at CES2020 in Vegas: Last chance to apply

CES Las Vegas is the world’s premier trade fair for consumer electronics that hosts more than 180’000 visitors from over 150 countries and more than 1,200 exhibiting startups. Last year, SwissTech brought a delegation of 45 entrepreneurs, among them 30 startups including Imverse, GreenMotion, OneVisage, Creal3D and Flyability, to CES Las Vegas for the first time. Tens of thousands visitors made the SWISS Pavilion a huge success. In addition, the Swiss cohort gained significant attention from several media outlets whose attention was drawn on to the various realms of Swiss innovation.

For the second time, Presence Switzerland and Switzerland Global Enterprise teamed up with digitalswitzerland, Innosuisse and swissnex USA to organize a SWISS Pavilion showcasing Swiss innovation at CES2020 in Las Vegas. This year, thirty startups will have the opportunity to join the Swiss Pavilion in Eureka Park to present their solutions to a global audience and expand their network to support their expansion in North America. Eligible to apply are consumer electronics startups that have a product that is not older than one year on the US market.

In addition,  Presence Suisse will showcase the products of 10 startups from the smart home, smart living sector on stage. The selected products will be showcased for free but without a physical presence on the #swisstech booth. 

Financial support from Innosuisse
Innosuisse start-ups exhibiting at the Swiss Pavilion can benefit from financial support. Innosuisse will bring 12 startups to the event and cover up to 70% of their fair costs. In addition, internationalization counselling will be offered. Flights and accommodation will be financed by the startup.  

The application deadline has been extended to 14. August.
