This partnership will help identify breakout technologies from across Europe to be showcased at the event taking place in the Beurs van Berlage on October 15, 2024. The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy has also renewed its long-standing partnership with CES Unveiled in Amsterdam to demonstrate the groundbreaking innovations from the Netherlands.
“We are proud to partner with the European Innovation Council at CES Unveiled in Amsterdam to highlight incredible technologies from European technology leaders and startups," said Gary Shapiro, CEO, CTA.
