Our team has an ongoing internal huddle throughout the year: a team meeting where we share the most disruptive and exciting startups and emerging technologies from around the world. The only rule is that they can’t solve a current client challenge directly. This way, we retain our superpower of spotting creative adjacencies and disruptive outer-horizon solutions.

Last month we turned our huddle to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a big hub for launching innovative products, establishing strategic partnerships, and attracting significant investments. Below, is a short list of startups and tech featured at CES 2024 that caught our team's attention:
