September 2, 2014

Home to the latest technology ideas and innovations, the Eureka Park Marketplace at the 2015 International CES will expand by more than 50 percent, compared with the 2014 event and feature exhibits from 300 startups.  

The 2015 CES, owned and produced by the Consumer Electronics Association, is scheduled to run Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas.
 
Returning for its fourth year, the Eureka Park Marketplace will highlight entrepreneurs and their home-grown innovations across the consumer technology spectrum.

The Eureka Park Marketplace is expected to span 35,000 net square feet of exhibit space at the 2015 CES, up 59 percent from the 22,000 net square feet at the 2014 CES.
 
“Innovation is the force that drives our industry and the lifeblood of the International CES, as evidenced by the continued success and exponential growth of the Eureka Park Marketplace,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and Corporate Business Strategy, CEA.

She added, “Over the past three years, we’ve witnessed countless startup success stories at Eureka Park – companies have secured funding, entered partnerships with distributors, and advanced to their first full production cycle. We’re thrilled to bring the Eureka Park Marketplace back to the 2015 CES and can’t wait to witness the next wave of ideas and innovations on display.”
 
The Eureka Park Marketplace will be located at CES Tech West within the Sands Expo and Convention Center.

Along with startups in the beginning stages of development, Eureka Park also will host more established, mid-stage startup companies looking to expand their growth.

Additionally, University Innovations, a Marketplace showcasing game-changing developments emerging from some of the country’s leading educational institutions, will be floored within Eureka Park.
 
CES Tech West also will be home to other major destinations including the newest innovations in lifestyle technologies, including sports, fitness and health tech, 3D printing, smart home, sensors and other high-growth technologies.
 
The 2015 CES will feature more than 3,500 exhibitors, unveiling the latest consumer technology products and services across the entire ecosystem of consumer technologies.
