UK Faces Criticism for Declining Presence at CES Tech Show

CES organizer highlights reduced UK government support compared to other nations despite the country's tech potential.

Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, expressed disappointment over the UK's diminished engagement at CES, the world’s largest tech trade show.
Only 41 UK companies are participating in CES 2025, a significant drop from past years when larger delegations were organized.
Shapiro contrasted the UK's reduced presence with strong support from countries like France, the Netherlands, and even Ukraine, which have a more prominent presence at the event.
The UK government emphasized its commitment to supporting the tech sector but did not address specific concerns about CES participation.
CES 2025, held in Las Vegas, attracts over 100,000 attendees and is a major platform for showcasing global tech innovation and fostering industry collaboration.
