When people think of CES, they often think of consumer devices, artificial intelligence, and next-generation gadgets. In reality, in recent years this event has become much more: a place where advanced electronics, mobility, robotics, digital health, manufacturing, and energy technologies converge.

CES 2026 took place in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, 2026, with two preceding days dedicated to Media Days, and reaffirmed its role as a major international platform for observing the direction of global technology. According to the organizers, the 2026 edition welcomed over 148,000 attendees, with a strong presence of decision-makers and senior executives—a sign of an event increasingly focused not only on visibility but also on industrial strategies.

One of the most interesting aspects of CES 2026 was the breadth of topics covered. The program included areas such as AI, cybersecurity, digital health, robotics, manufacturing, sustainability, vehicle tech, advanced mobility, and the future of energy. This makes CES particularly useful even for those working in seemingly more industrial sectors, as it demonstrates how electronics, energy, and control systems are converging.

For those focused on energy storage systems and electric mobility, the value of CES lies not so much in discovering a single new product, but in reading the market signals. Platforms are becoming more electrified, smarter, and more reliant on dynamic energy management. And this means that the issues of available power, response speed, and efficiency during transients are becoming increasingly central.

In this sense, events like CES help us understand a fundamental point: the future of energy depends not only on the amount of energy stored, but also on the ability to manage it quickly, precisely, and in an integrated manner with the rest of the system.

For companies like NOVAC, observing these trends means staying connected to a rapidly evolving ecosystem where the line between energy, electronics, and mobility is becoming increasingly blurred.
