PolyU led 19 start-ups to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, held from 6 to 9 January. In addition to the ground-breaking technologies presented by the participating start-ups, the University also showcased its research achievements across fields such as human security, digital health and energy optimisation. PolyU delivered an outstanding performance at this year’s Show, with three projects receiving one “Best of Innovation Award” and two “Innovation Awards”. This not only marks the University’s best result since it first participated in the event, but also accounts for two-thirds of all awards received by the Hong Kong start-up delegation, underscoring PolyU’s excellence in research, innovation and entrepreneurship.
