Ukraine returns to the global stage of CES in Las Vegas: DroneUA, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and the Ukrainian Startup Fund are launching the team selection for the Ukrainian Pavilion

Following a successful debut in 2025, when the Ukrainian technology ecosystem was presented for the first time with two national pavilions, Ukraine is once again stepping onto the global stage of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) — the world’s largest international exhibition of consumer technologies, taking place on January 6–9, 2026, in Las Vegas, USA.

This year, Ukraine’s presence reaches a new level: for the first time, the country will become part of the global Global Pavilions area, uniting scale-up companies and startups within a single exhibition space — showcasing maturity, consistency, and a long-term strategy for integration into the global technology community. The event will serve as a vivid example of next-generation public–private partnership, where the state acts as a driver for the development of the startup ecosystem, while businesses contribute their expertise, production capabilities, and international connections.

With the support of the technological initiative Fleet of Millions, the Ukrainian Pavilion is organized by DroneUA, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ukrainian Startup Fund. Together, they are building a platform that opens the way for Ukrainian teams to access global markets, investors, and strategic partners — systematically representing the interests of the Ukrainian technology sector on the international stage.

This year, the joint Ukrainian Pavilion at CES 2026 will bring together 16 teams representing the full spectrum of Ukraine’s technological potential — from established innovative companies with proven track records to startups developing next-generation technologies and showcasing a new vision for the application of innovation.

DroneUA is launching an open call for eight mature companies and scale-ups ready to present their solutions on the international stage. This track focuses on technologically established businesses that already have experience operating in global markets, are scaling production, or are developing high-tech solutions in the fields of engineering, automation, and digital transformation.

The Ukrainian Pavilion is implemented with the support of the Consulate General of Ukraine in San Francisco. This partnership foundation builds a diplomatic and business bridge between Ukrainian innovators and the American ecosystem, creating opportunities for investment attraction, partnership development, knowledge exchange, and the promotion of Ukrainian companies in the United States.

The joint exhibition will showcase a comprehensive view of Ukraine’s innovation ecosystem — from scientific developments to commercially mature technological products capable of scaling in global markets.

Last year’s participation of Ukraine in CES proved that the Ukrainian technology brand has already become globally recognizable. This time, Ukraine returns to strengthen its position, expand partnerships, and bring a new generation of technology companies to the international stage.

CES 2026 will mark another step for Ukraine in advancing technological diplomacy — a framework in which innovation serves not only as a product but also as a tool for international cooperation, economic modernization, and infrastructure recovery, demonstrating that technological leadership carries a Ukrainian code.
