CES 2025, the world’s largest technology showcase hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), showcased cutting-edge innovations across artificial intelligence, mobility, quantum, digital health, energy transition, and sustainability. The trade show, held from January 7 to 10 at the massive Las Vegas Convention Center and other venues around the city, attracted more than 4,500 exhibitors, including about 1,400 startups, and more than 141,000 attendees. There were participants, of which 40% were international participants from over 150 countries. , region, region – come together at CES for a week-long deep dive into technological breakthroughs and solutions.
From startups to the world’s top technology companies, CES showcased the technological advances that are shaping the world’s present and future, from revolutionizing mobility to delivering solutions that improve the quality of life.
At Eureka Park, where innovations from startups from around the world were on display, Angad Sagal, an Indian entrepreneur from Atlanta, unveiled LetMeDoIt, the app he and his father Amit Sagal founded. did.
The first disability-focused decision-making app allows people with disabilities, their care providers, and older adults to have “decision-making autonomy” related to daily life decisions and personal financial management. said Amit Sagar.

Another breakthrough innovation on display was a flavor-enhancing electric salt spoon by Japan’s Kirin Holdings. The spoon uses a gentle electrical current to “amplify flavors such as saltiness,” making low-sodium meals more palatable. The electric spoon was the winner of the CES Innovation Awards 2025 in the Digital Health and Age Technology category.
Another exhibit that attracted great interest at the exhibition was the “Land Aircraft Carrier” modular flying vehicle by Chinese company XPENG AEROHT. The company unveiled “the world’s only aircraft that fits in the trunk of a car” and unveiled a breakthrough innovation in the field of mobility that “seamlessly combines driving and flying.”
Products in the digital health category included FaceHeart CardioMirror, the first AI-powered smart mirror for heart health assessment.
According to the company, the mirror detects atrial fibrillation (AFib), heart failure (HF), and vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and stress index by taking a 45-second “selfie.”
The Ukraine Pavilion will showcase the country’s technology ecosystem, including advanced unmanned aircraft systems, the world’s first wheelchair-accessible electric vehicle, drone technology and counter-drone solutions, and drone technology revolutionizing agriculture, infrastructure and energy.
