The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the annual tech extravaganza held in Las Vegas, is where companies and startups unveil their latest innovations, forge new partnerships, and attract major investment. This year, a delegation of 8 Ukrainian startups showcased the country’s vibrant tech ecosystem: S.Lab, Syla, Qudi, Versi Bionics, eXtra Vision, Beetless, Pickpad, and Profeed.
And the results? Impressive, to say the least.
- Pickpad returned home with two top honors: the CES Innovation Award — 2025 Honoree in Artificial Intelligence and Best of Tech Podcast Network CES 2025.
- Profeed nearly doubled their client base and secured preliminary agreements for $2 million in product investment.
- Qudi signed deals with two new clients, achieving record sales for their masks. The startup also has preliminary agreements for $200,000 in angel investment.
- S.Lab held meetings with over 20 potential partners, tripled their client base, and initiated negotiations for up to $1 million in investment.
- eXtra Vision is in talks with more than 10 potential clients, including medical universities and clinics interested in integrating Ukrainian technology for student training and surgical practice enhancement.
These achievements are a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of Ukrainian startups, even in the face of immense challenges. The participation of the Ukrainian delegation at CES 2025 was made possible by the support of the USAID Competitive Economy Program for Ukraine. The initiative is implemented jointly with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Startup Fund, with the support of the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA).
