CES Adds Space, Food Technology Categories, Says CTA

CES is adding two categories for the January show: space tech and food tech, said CTA Wednesday. Technology is “advancing opportunities for space exploration and space living conditions,” creating new communications services and opportunities in biology and human health, said Karen Chupka, CTA executive vice president-CES. Exhibitor Sierra Space, a subsidiary of Sierra Nevada, will showcase its Dream Chaser spaceplane at CES, said Chupka. The food technology category covers agriculture, ingredient innovation, meal kits and deliveries, nutrition, plant-based proteins, traceability, sustainability and vertical farming and more. Grov Technologies, Impossible Foods and John Deere will return as CES exhibitors, she said.
