After shrinking in the aftermath of Corona 19, it recovered to its usual size in three years.



With the participation of more than 3,000 companies and organizations in an exhibition hall the size of 26 soccer fields, the scale has increased by 60% compared to last year.



This year, there is no need for a corona voice confirmation for the exhibition position except for the audience from China.



Organizers predicted that more than 100,000 people would attend.



Sustainability is particularly emphasized this year.



Technology should contribute to overcoming human survival crises such as climate change and war.

[Son Hyun-ho/SK Vice President: We cannot reach consumers with products right now, but anyway, by 2030 We have prepared it under the basic premise that if we do not achieve (carbon neutrality), we will all die.]



There are criticisms that it is abstract and is not for display, but this year's CES is becoming a venue for companies around the world to compete for sustainability.
