Guided by a bold vision and new leadership, Caterpillar is expanding its role as a global innovator. At CES 2026 — the world’s most influential tech event — CEO Joe Creed will deliver a keynote address unveiling how our latest breakthroughs are reshaping industries and harnessing the full potential of advanced technologies.
At CES, we’ll introduce advancements in AI, machine learning and autonomy, along with strategic partnerships and investments that are helping to build a better, more sustainable world. These technologies extend far beyond machines. They enable smarter decisions, safer operations and greater efficiency.

As the company enters its second century, Creed is focused on honoring our legacy while accelerating the technologies that will shape what comes next. His commitment to innovation is matched by his belief in our greatest strength: the people of Team Caterpillar.
"We are building on our strong legacy of innovation, rapidly expanding our tech capabilities in new ways that help solve our customers’ toughest challenges. CES is the place to showcase Caterpillar as a high-tech leader in industrial equipment with expertise that extends beyond moving earth to include intelligent systems and integrated digital platforms that anticipate, evolve and optimize customer outcomes for a better tomorrow.” — Caterpillar CEO Joe Creed
