Tokyo, Japan—DIC Corporation announced today that it will participate in CES 2026, one of the world’s leading technology trade shows for the consumer electronics industry, which will be held from January 6 to 9, 2026, in Las Vegas, in the U.S. state of Nevada. DIC has chosen “Signals” as the theme of its exhibit and will showcase prototypes of three innovative products that embody its “Direct to Society” business creation mechanism, which aims to transcend the traditional constraints of chemicals manufacturing to deliver value directly to society. This will be the second consecutive year that the Company has taken part in this important event.
With the rapid evolution of communications technologies and AI, chemicals companies—who play a key role in supporting social infrastructure—are also on the threshold of dramatic change. Guided by its Direct to Society mechanism, DIC is striving to create an ecosystem of diverse new businesses that overlap conventional industry and sector boundaries. This mechanism emphasizes looking directly to society to actively envisage future needs and to respond with appropriate solutions and value.
DIC participated in CES 2025 in January 2025, where it first introduced its new HAGAMOSphere® omnidirectional multicopter prototype. Garnering praise from judges for its innovative design and engineering features, the prototype earned DIC designation as a CES Innovation Awards® 2025 Honoree in the Drones category. HAGAMOSphere also attracted considerable attention from engineers, as well as from individuals in marketing and creative fields, from around the world, and from the media.
In 2026, DIC will unveil prototypes of three products—including a new, advanced model of HAGAMOSphere—that exemplify the tremendous potential of its new businesses and innovations. This will be the first time that HAGAMOSphere 2.0 is exhibited anywhere in the world, and the first time that MoRTM and Tacthancer™ are exhibited outside of Japan.
By participating in CES 2026, DIC aims to promote its technologies and solutions across a broad range of industries, discover potential business partners and propose new value.
