NEW YORK--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM and producer of CES®, the world’s gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technologies, announced the Best of Innovation Honorees for CES® 2017. The annual CES Innovation Awards honors outstanding product design and engineering across 28 product categories.

The program recognizes two levels of recipient - Honoree and Best of Innovation. Products that receive the Best of Innovation and Honoree designation will be featured in the Innovation Awards Showcase, presented by The Henry Ford, at CES 2017, Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas, NV.
