Ireland\u2019s tech ecosystem was strongly represented at the Las Vegas event, with start-ups making \u00adground-breaking announcements, securing major awards and contributing to high-profile discussions.<\/p>\n

Enterprise Ireland hosted a reception for clients, venture capitalists, Fortune Global 500 leaders and \u00adbuyers, letting Irish companies showcase excellence in femtech, medtech, consumer and food tech.<\/p>\n

Their success reinforced Ireland\u2019s growing reputation as a leader in user-centric innovations and spotlighted some of Ireland\u2019s leading women entrepreneurs as global tech challengers.<\/p>\n

A major highlight was Irish femtech company Peri, which officially began taking orders for its purpose-built wearable for perimenopause management.<\/p>\n

Co-founders Heidi Davis and Donal O\u2019Gorman announced the milestone at CES after five years of R&D.<\/p>\n

Dublin-based Coroflo made history as the first product to win five awards at a single CES. Founded in 2017 and led by Rosanne Longmore, its flagship Coro is a revolutionary breastfeeding monitor: a soft silicone nipple shield with a microflow meter measuring real-time breast milk intake to 0.01ml.<\/p>\n

Data feeds to a smartphone app, with Apple Watch and Android integration planned. It is backed by Enterprise Ireland and EU funding and its awards included CNET Best of CES 2026 \u2013 Parent Tech, Best of ShowStoppers \u2013 Gadgety, Tech Podcasts Network Best of CES, and Techlicious Editor\u2019s Choice.<\/p>\n

\u200bSwippitt, founded by Padraic Connolly and Karen Glynn, impressed everyone with its \u201cinstant power system\u201d \u2013a cordless battery swap hub \u2013 earning a 2026 CES Innovation Award.<\/p>\n

Praised by Men\u2019s Health<\/span> magazine as Best New Charger 2026, it enables two-second swaps via a Smart Hub managing five batteries, eliminating cords and downtime in mobile charging.<\/p>\n

Beyond products, Irish thought leadership shone through.<\/p>\n

Dr Nora Khaldi of Nuritas joined a panel on food AI, detailing advanced models for ingredient discovery from natural sources.<\/p>\n

And Ireland\u2019s diplomatic voice was represented by \u00adCaitl\u00edn Higgins N\u00ed Chinn\u00e9ide, consul general to the southwestern US, who spoke on the Innovation with Our Borders: The Global Policy Frontier panel, emphasising Ireland\u2019s role as a trusted bridge for innovators, policymakers and markets.<\/p>\n

Ireland was also recognised as a 2025 global innovation champion in the CES scorecard, evaluated on workforce skills, broadband access, entrepreneurship support, and openness to emerging technologies.<\/p>\n

These accomplishments highlight Ireland\u2019s vibrant start-up scene and its delivery of meaningful solutions in health, wellness and sustainability.<\/p>\n

CES is a huge event, showcasing the convergence of technology across every aspect of life and business.<\/p>\n

And as the 2026 event wraps up, Ireland\u2019s multifaceted success signals strong momentum for continued global impact in transformative technology.<\/p>\n
