Well, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is over for another year.<\/p>\n

As you know, CES is the world\u2019s premier event for technology companies to show off their latest designs \u2013 and, unsurprisingly, the media buzz always centers on the big boys like Samsung<\/strong> (SSNLF<\/a>), Sony<\/strong> (SNE<\/a>), and LG<\/strong> (LPL<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s easy to just report on the obvious stories at the expense of the more under-the-radar \u2013 and more interesting \u2013 events.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve dug a little deeper to give you the name of the company that I think quietly \u201cwon\u201d CES.<\/p>

And it\u2019s succeeding without the multi-million-dollar budgets that its large-cap peers enjoy.<\/p>\n

After an outstanding showing at CES, the company is clearly ready for success in 2015\u2026<\/p>\n

Innovation\u2026 French-Style<\/h2>\n

The company I\u2019m talking about is Parrot S.A.<\/strong> (Paris: PARRO.PA<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This Paris-based, small-cap firm focuses its innovative might in several areas. Here are three areas that it showcased at CES\u2026<\/p>\n

Area #1: Drones.<\/strong> At CES, Parrot was one of many companies to feature drones. Its new offering, the eXom<\/a>, has proximity sensors, a photography camera and pilot camera, flight planning, and even fully autonomous operation.<\/p>\n

These capabilities will take drones out of the hands of specially trained operators and put them into the hands of civil and petroleum engineers and surveyors, who use them in their jobs. Parrot also showed off a new series of mini-drones for recreational use, along with mapping software.<\/p>\n

Area #2: Auto Industry.<\/strong> The RNB-6<\/a> is essentially a car management system. It controls high-quality entertainment and connectivity by cellphone and internet, plus a navigation system, dash cam, and sensors that check the engine, tires, fuel efficiency, and more.<\/p>\n

On the driving side, RNB-6 has a lane departure warning system, rear camera, and parking assistance. At CES, RNB-6 won the Best Innovation award in the In-Vehicle Audio-Video category.<\/p>\n

Area #3: Horticulture.<\/strong> Ever heard of \u201cwired plants\u201d? At CES, Parrot introduced the H20<\/a>. It\u2019s a plant sensor that you can stick into the dirt of an existing potted plant. The product basically lets you know if your plant is getting too much or too little water, whether it needs fertilizer, if it\u2019s in the wrong place to get proper sunlight, or if it\u2019s too cold.<\/p>\n

And when you go on vacation, the device can automatically water the plant for you while you\u2019re gone.\u00a0No more relying on a friend, who may not remember to come over and water your plants!<\/p>\n

Other Parrot products at CES included\u00a0wireless headphones for sports and entertainment.<\/p>\n

The Unofficial Winner of CES<\/h2>\n

Now, one product that I don\u2019t think will succeed is Parrot\u2019s Wi-Fi-enabled flower pot<\/a>. If you recall, I knocked this product in my Internet of Things<\/a> column last week.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s not a stretch to say that Parrot was the winner of CES \u2013 at least among the smaller companies.<\/p>\n

For investors, this is good and bad news\u2026<\/p>\n

Parrot trades in France, but has ADRs available in the United States. However, the shares are rarely traded, which makes it difficult to buy without running the price up beyond its value. So buying the shares directly on the French exchange is the best way to go here.<\/p>\n

To living and investing in the future,<\/p>\n

Greg Miller<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> With CES over for another year, Silicon Valley can now get back to doing what it does best \u2013 creating incredible products and making investors incredibly rich. For the longest time, though, the blockbuster gains have always been reserved for fat-cat venture capitalists, who are able to swoop into new, publicly traded tech companies at pre-IPO prices.<\/p>\n

Not any more, though! We\u2019ve uncovered a hidden (and perfectly legal) way for everyday investors to buy right alongside the top venture capitalists \u2013 investing before the regular masses and pocketing the biggest profits. See how it\u2019s done here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
