CTA Foundation
We power lives. Through our extensive and dynamic network, we bring technology to those most in need — seniors and people with disabilities. It's more than just devices. We give people freedom, independence, purpose and most importantly, vital connections.
The Consumer Technology Association Foundation is thrilled to host our 9th annual pitch competition live at CES 2027!
Be part of the CTA Foundation's Pitch Competition at CES 2027, with presenting sponsor Ability Central and prize sponsor Next50. This year, we're spotlighting technology that supports caregiving, whether it helps professional and family caregivers or the people they care for. We want products that ease daily caregiving tasks, reduce burnout, and help people stay independent, connected, and healthy. Selected companies will pitch on stage at CES to industry leaders, investors, and media. If you're building technology that makes caregiving easier, apply now to show your impact at the world's most influential technology event.
