While all of CES is technically “International” (after all, as the organizers of the event constantly remind us, the event is technically called the “International CES 2013”), a special section of the show floor is reserved for smaller companies specifically from China, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan called the “International Gateway.”

While these booths often lack the glitz and glamor of the main show floor, often the most innovative and unusual tech at CES comes from these smaller Asian companies who are looking for their big break at CES. This year, more than 3,000 companies are joining the International Gateway, so it should prove to be a treasure trove of innovation. We’ll be bringing you tons of coverage and all of the hottest products shown at the International Gateway starting tomorrow when the show floor officially opens!
