BRICS INVENTIONS 2024 / Online, Registration May 20 to Sep 20

BRICS-Inventions is a worldwide competition for Inventors & Innovators that are not able to participate in physical events.

IFIA and the organizers have over 55 years’ experience with invention and innovations fairs around the world.

They realized that, unfortunately, the cost of travel and those associated to these events may be excessive for a number of inventors and innovators, and they would not be able to have their inventions and innovations assessed according to the standards prevailing in these international events.

They have therefore put together a team to be at the service of these same Inventors and Innovators by way of an online event endowed with very large cash rewards.

BRICS-Inventions online platform is to serve as a welcoming space for inventors from all corners of the globe to participate in a significant competition.

By opening its doors to innovators worldwide, BRICS-Inventions not only promotes diversity but also enriches the pool of talent and ideas.

This inclusive approach ensures that groundbreaking innovations, irrespective of geographical boundaries, receive recognition and acclaim on a global scale.

The Prizes and cash awards are as follows:

15’000 €  as Grand prize for an invention or innovation that reaches the highest level of excellence.

7’500 €  as second prize for an invention or innovation which achieves a level of excellence.
