JPost (Copyrights). A record-breaking delegation of Israeli innovators are joining more than 180,000 hi-tech professionals and 4,400 companies in Las Vegas on Tuesday as the four-day Consumer Electronics Show – the world’s largest technology gathering – gets under way.
The annual CES conference is the unrivaled destination for start-ups wishing to exhibit their innovations on a global scale. Last year’s conference featured some 20,000 new products produced by companies from 150 countries.
This year, an unprecedented 22 Israeli companies from fields including cyber, mobility, consumer products and retail will represent the “Start-Up Nation” at the Israel Pavilion, sponsored by the Israel Export Institute and the Foreign Trade Administration of the Ministry of Economy and Industry.
The companies are expected to take part in some 700 business meetings on the sidelines of the conference with senior decision-makers from the world’s leading technology companies.
Brodmann17, a Tel Aviv-based developer of practical neural-network based software for deep-learning vision applications, is one of the companies gearing up to demonstrate its technology at the Israel Pavilion.
“The market for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) is rapidly growing, promising to make roads safer as our cars become smarter and smarter, and we at Brodmann17 have developed a superior ADAS offering based on an original, patent-pending deep learning algorithm,” CEO and cofounder Adi Pinhas told The Jerusalem Post.
“We are coming to CES to spread the word about our innovative technology and raise awareness of the Brodmann17 solution as the industry’s leading alternative to Mobileye.”
Israeli global investment and crowdfunding equity platform OurCrowd will also be highlighting 14 members of its investment portfolio – a mix of Israeli and foreign start-ups – at its own conference booth, including C2A Security, Edgybees and VayaVision. Other OurCrowd portfolio companies will be showcasing their technology independently or at the Israel Pavilion.
