Today, CES Asia™, the premier event for the consumer tech industry in China, and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park (ZJ Park), Shanghai's largest tech park, team up for CES Asia 2017 to attract innovative startups to the show. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™ and co-produced by Shanghai Intex Corporation Ltd. (Shanghai Intex), CES Asia 2017 will take place June 7-9 in Shanghai, China.
