Our Program

Making moves

Semiconductors
What’s your strategy to capture the full value of the AI-driven semiconductor boom?

The recent growth in semiconductors has been huge, but only for the top 5% of producers.

At CES, we will showcase:

  • How semiconductor companies of all sizes can position themselves for the next generation of AI, IoT, and mobility
  • Innovation in flexible integrated circuits
  • Unlocking scalable, cost-effective solutions for IoT applications

Robotics
See how automation can unlock a whole new level of efficiency and precision for your precise industry.

With 25% of capital spending shifting to automation in the next five years, now is the time for industries to invest, and for robotics companies to answer the call.

At CES, we will showcase:

  • How robotics is enhancing productivity, automating complex tasks, and unlocking entirely new capabilities
  • Insights on how businesses can move from pilot projects to large-scale implementation

Mobility
How will you navigate electrification, legislation, and consumer fears and expectations in the world of mobility?

AVs and electrification will potentially account for 8% of passenger miles by 2035 —but success in the market depends on mastering everything from regulation to consumer trust.

At CES, we will showcase:

  • Integrating generative AI into vehicle technology
  • How we help companies, investors, governments, and social sector entities transform their approach to mobility

AI
Are you ready to turn your AI experiments into AI results – at every level of your organization?

80% of companies report using AI. But few have seen results in their bottom line. That’s because getting the full value out of AI goes far beyond tech alone.

At CES, we will showcase:

  • Actionable insights on how businesses can rewire themselves to move from AI experimentation to execution
  • Our experience in optimizing supply chains, automating processes, and creating entirely new business models through AI
