For the second year in a row, the international technology company Ajax Systems is giving talented Ukrainian youth the chance to attend one of the world's largest technology shows — the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
60 students have a chance to visit CES in Las Vegas. According to Ajax Systems, the number of project participants has been doubled, so 2027 will be able to attend CES: 60 students. The event will take place in January next year in Las Vegas, USA. Engineering students from across Ukraine who pass an open competitive selection will be able to attend the exhibition. Applications are accepted through 30 August inclusive. During last year's trip, students learned about new products and solutions from global manufacturers, heard presentations from leaders at Siemens, NVIDIA, AMD, Lenovo and other companies, and also presented their own projects in the Ukrainian Pavilion.

That is why we want to show the new generation of Ukrainian engineers the brightest technological achievements in the world," said Ajax Systems Chairman of the Supervisory Board Oleksandr Konotopskyi.

Konotopskyi emphasized that the initiative is planned to be developed systematically and scaled up. "We want 'to create' and 'to inspire' to become a national movement.
