Emerging technology products that transcend every major industry were showcased at the recently concluded 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Innovative and trendsetting products in various fields like 5G, sports, health care, travel, and robotics were introduced.

Among the top products were Kingston's DataTraveler Ultimate GT flashdrive, which was touted as "the world's highest-capacity USB flash drive;" the PowerVision PowerRay Fishfinder, an underwater drone that can dive up to 100 feet underwater and stream 4K video back to a mobile device or VR headset; and a new model of Dell's XPS 13 laptop, which the company claims to be a lighter and thinner 2-in-1 version of the 2016 model.

Consumer electronics firm TCL also introduced its first Blackberry prototype phone model called Mercury, which uses the latest Android Nougat operating system. The Lenovo Smart Assistant tubular smart speaker, which is integrated with Amazon's Alexa voice service, is expected to provide tough competition to the Google Home and Amazon Echo devices. The other products included LG's 2.6-mm thin OLED TV, as well as HP's updated Spectre x360 laptop model and Envy All-in-One PC.

The event, which is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), registered over 3,800 participating firms from around the world and more than 2.6 million net square feet of exhibit space.

In his statement, CTA president and CEO Gary Shapiro said that the trade show has advanced to a new level where small and major companies offer solutions to the most difficult problems worldwide. "Our industry is bettering the world through connectivity and innovation, touching literally every facet of our lives. Today's connected world was on full display this week at CES 2017 – our largest, boldest show in history," he said.

Several top political leaders attended the show like the Netherlands' His Royal Highness Prince Constantijn, Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs Henk Kamp, and Axelle Lemaire, France's Deputy Minister for Innovation and Digital Affairs.

According to Samsung Electronics Senior Vice President of Public Policy John Godfrey, "It was great to see so many key officials at this year's show."
