CES 2025: Everything is digital

January 12, 2025

Marketplace for innovations with significance for Europe and the IT security industry

A global showcase for innovations

With over 170,000 attendees from more than 150 countries and an exhibition area far larger than several football pitches, CES is a unique opportunity to showcase innovations on a global stage. Companies from Europe, Asia and North America use the show to present their products and services to an international audience and establish potential partnerships.

For European industry, CES is not only a place to showcase its own innovative strength, but also a source of valuable insights into the latest trends. Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technologies, IoT (Internet of Things) and quantum computing are just some of the topics that are coming into focus at CES and are of crucial importance for the IT security industry.

Relevance for the IT security industry in Europe

The security and IT security industry worldwide is facing similar challenges: increasing cyber threats, attack vectors that are becoming more and more complex, and an increasing shortage of skilled workers. For Europe, where regulatory requirements such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the NIS2 directive play a leading role, CES provides a platform for discovering innovative solutions and technologies that can help meet these challenges.

Cybersecurity is now a central topic at CES. Companies are presenting advanced security solutions such as AI-based threat detection, end-to-end encryption for IoT devices and new standards for data integrity.

These technologies are of particular interest to Europe, as the region is a global leader in promoting data protection and security at both the regulatory and technological levels.

Security industry in focus: collaboration and innovation

Another important aspect is the increasing convergence of physical and digital security. Solutions that combine classic surveillance systems with the latest AI and cloud technologies will be presented at CES. For the European security industry, which is characterised by innovations in surveillance technology, access control systems and smart city concepts, CES offers an ideal opportunity to establish partnerships with international technology companies.

CES is a catalyst, particularly with regard to cooperation between European companies and American technology providers. This is where networks are created that can lay the foundation for future security solutions that both meet specific European requirements and remain globally competitive.

CES as a driving force for the European digital economy

CES is much more than a consumer electronics show. It serves as a global think tank and engine for innovation, influencing not only the technology market but also advancing critical industries such as IT and security. For Europe, and in particular for the European IT security industry, CES is a key event offering inspiration, partnerships and access to the latest technologies.

In an increasingly connected world, where cybersecurity is a central concern, it is crucial to use the innovations presented at CES to strengthen Europe’s security and competitiveness. Looking to Las Vegas is therefore not only an investment in the future of technology, but also in the security and resilience of our digital society.
