I want to express my confidence that PRO INVENT Exhibition will continue to contribute to the development of regional and international technical-scientific cooperation, encouraging business-science partnerships and stimulating new ideas that will later be transformed into inventions, technologies and creative products.”

PRO INVENT brings together over 50 participating entities from universities, institutes, research centers, clusters, companies, as well as natural persons, who have registered more than 400 inventions for judging.
