2013 CES Eureka Park To Expand By 40 Percent

Arlington, Va.

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is expanding by 40 percent the size
of the Eureka Park TechZone, a dedicated area showcasing start-ups and
entrepreneurs, at the 2013 International CES.

In
addition, CEA has renewed its partnerships with two Eureka Park sponsors, the
National Science Foundation (NSF) and Startup America Partnership, to secure
participation from start-up companies that will introduce innovative products
at the 2013 CES.

The
Eureka Park TechZone launched at the 2012 CES with 102 exhibitors covering
10,200 square feet. The TechZone was a strong attraction among venture
capitalists, media, buyers and other attendees across CES’s diverse audience
who were drawn to the “new-to-CES” innovations and emerging technologies. At
the 2013 International CES, the Eureka Park TechZone will cover at least 14,000
square feet, allowing an additional 40 start-ups to participate.  

“Based
on the success of Eureka Park at the 2012 CES, including innovative product
launches, we are expanding its size at the 2013 CES,” said Gary Shapiro,
president and CEO, CEA. “CES is as much for start-up companies looking to make
a name for themselves as it is for the big-name companies leveraging the
world’s largest technology event. The entrepreneurs in Eureka Park are helping
fuel our economy by creating jobs and producing innovative goods and services.
We look forward to partnering with Startup America and the NSF to create
another successful Eureka Park at CES experience.”

Eureka
Park embodies the spirit of innovation regularly promoted by CEA through its
Innovation Movement. For more information about joining the Innovation
