IFIA Activity Report 2011
The main missions of the IFIA are the represent of the inventors world wide and to promote the commercialization of inventions which is the essential step of the innovation. The best way of the commercialization of new solutions is the presentation of inventions on international business forums. These forums are the international invention/innovation exhibitions. There are many events in the world wide. Because of the costs of the presentation are high the cost efficiency is an important criteria for the independent inventors, the universities and the SMEs. The IFIA ambition is to reduce the invention presentation costs. Therefore we introduced the “IFIA Official Events”. This gives the basis of our working program.
We would like to call the attention of inventors to the specialty of the IFIA work in 2011.
- The celebration of inventors is our publicity. Our “International Inventors Day” project serves for this purpose. The “International Inventors Day” will be organized in Stockholm on 5th October.
- The computer implemented inventions are a new form of creations. The second World Cup of these inventions will be organized on 24-27 August (Kaoshiung, Taiwan, Province of China) together First Cultural Innovation International Festival and “Modern Innovation” International Conference.
- The ecology is an important question. Therefore we will organize first time the “World Competition of Green Inventions” connected to the IENA (27-30 October, Nuremberg).
- 2011 is the “International Year of Chemistry” according to an UN project. The IFIA will celebrate the chemistry with the “World Competition of Chemical Inventions” connected to IWIS (3-5 November, Warsaw).
These are the IFIA main events.
