CTA Bows ‘Climate Change Innovator’ Awards for Eureka Park CES Exhibitors

Exhibitors in the Eureka Park pavilion for startups at the January CES can vie for one of 15 “climate change innovator” awards in recognition of companies that are “placing bold bets” on their technologies’ ability to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if widely implemented, said CTA in a Monday announcement. There’s “nowhere better than CES, the global stage for innovation, to scout the next startup that can deliver meaningful emission reductions," said CTA President Gary Shapiro in a statement. CTA will accept online entry forms through Nov. 16, announce the winners Dec. 20 and then honor them at CES Sustainability Day Jan. 11 in Las Vegas, it said. Applicants must be under contract as Eureka Park exhibitors at the January show and must exhibit a product or technology with the potential for substantial GHG reductions, it said. Winners will be chosen by a CTA-selected committee of GHG and industry experts based on several qualifications, including the credibility of the methodology used to quantify the potential GHG reductions, it said. Winners will receive a tabletop award for display in Eureka Park and exposure to CES media and attendees, it said.
