Eleven EPFL startups in Las Vegas

This week, eleven EPFL startups are in Las Vegas to tout their technologies at the Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest events of its kind. Specialists and investors from around the world will be on hand to check out the drones and other cutting-edge devices from these up-and-comers, most of which are being hosted in the Swiss pavilion. Eleven promising EPFL startups are in Las Vegas this week, but their hopes aren't pinned on the roulette wheel or the poker table. No, they're looking to win big at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one of the world's leading tech-industry expos. CES offers companies a unique opportunity to show off the technologies they're developing. For more than 50 years, multinationals and fledglings alike have demonstrated their newest products at this annual event. And like much else in Las Vegas, CES is outsized: this year, more than 182,000 industry professionals and 7,000 journalists are expected to attend - and they will be able to check out the 1,100 startups showcased in the Eureka Park Marketplace.
