Andrew J. Ritter, Chief Executive Officer of Cairns HealthThe CTA Foundation does a phenomenal job supporting and promoting early-stage companies at CES. CES can be overwhelming; it’s hard to stand out, expensive, and daunting to navigate. Being a Eureka Park Accessibility Contest winner made all the difference. The CTA Foundation is truly supportive, deeply engaged with its winners, and played a meaningful role in making CES a success for us.
Jack Walters, CEO & Cofounder of HapWareBeing winners of the CTA Foundation’s Accessibility Contest and Innovation Challenge was an absolute honor. We were given opportunities and exposure we’d never had before, and we met so many incredible people. It truly moved the needle in achieving HapWare's mission. If you’re going to exhibit at CES, it’s worth putting in the time and effort to prepare and make the most of it. There’s nothing quite like it.

Omar Atwa Founder & CTO of CogniThe CTA Foundation's Eureka Park Accessibility Contest was a game-changer for Cogni. As a small startup from Waterloo, Canada, being given a platform at the world's biggest tech stage gave us instant credibility and exposure we couldn't have achieved on our own. From meeting potential partners and investors to connecting with families who could benefit from our technology, CES delivered more value in a few days than months of outreach ever could. We're incredibly grateful to the CTA Foundation for believing in our mission to make brain health monitoring accessible to everyone.
