January 2, 2020 By ESN.net Leave a Comment

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao and U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette, along with more than 150 government officials from the U.S., Europe and Asia will attend or participate at CES 2020. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, CES – the largest, most influential technology event in the world – is Jan. 7-10, in Las Vegas, NV.

“Across the country, as well as around the globe, countless businesses are working to lay the foundation of tomorrow’s economy,” said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “At the Department of Commerce, we are working every day protecting our entrepreneurs’ patents, fostering growth in the economy, and keeping our important national security sensitive technologies out of the hands of bad actors. Now more than ever, it’s critical to ensure that Americans who are willing to work hard, innovate, and take risks are empowered with the tools to succeed and achieve the American dream.”

“I’m looking forward to updating CES on the next steps in the Department’s innovation agenda, which will help ensure our country remains a leader in emerging transportation technologies,” said Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.

“I am thrilled to be joining my government and industry counterparts at CES this year,” said Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette. “The strong presence of Administration officials at CES is indicative of President Trump’s firm commitment to driving progress in the United States through innovation and technology. I look forward to discussing how together, through strong public-private partnerships, we can continue to better the lives of the American people.”

“We’re thrilled to have these cabinet secretaries join us at CES 2020 to experience firsthand the technologies that are changing our lives for the better,” said Gary Shapiro, CTA president and CEO. “The public and private sectors must work together to support American innovation and drive competition. Hosting leaders from such diverse agencies – Commerce, Energy, Transportation – proves the critical role technology plays in our nation’s global leadership.”
