LONDON: CES, the world’s largest technology trade show, does not have “the same support from the UK government as other countries provide”, the event’s organiser has said.
Gary Shapiro, chief executive of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the US-based trade body which organises the annual convention in Las Vegas, said it was “a shame” and “doesn’t make sense” that UK engagement in the show had dropped off, despite plenty of “potential” in the country’s tech sector.
