The Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Michigan State University selected three student-led startups to showcase at the 2026 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, NV.
Every year, CES brings together the people shaping the future of technology, industry leaders, investors, media, and the builders pushing bold ideas forward. The experience reinforces the Burgess Institute’s mission to build what’s next by equipping students with hands-on opportunities that shape their careers and companies.
