Other invention presentations for IFIA members

The next international invention exhibitions are open to show inventions on IFIA collective booth (free of charge) or to participate by own booth: ARCA–Zagreb (11-16 September) Festival International de l’Innovation–Merignac (France, 21-24 September), INVENTICA–Bucharest (2-6 October) YANKEE–Waterbury CT USA (12-13 October) and International Invention Show–Belgrade (28-29 November). Send please your registering as soon as possible to (to vedres@inventor.hu).

Finally, the basic of any cooperation with IFIA is the membership, which is indicated by paid member fee. May I ask you to pay by remittance to IFIA bank use our IBAN code: CH15 0027 9279 C8-108.868.2. This way is simple, cheaper and faster than a bank check.

I am waiting for your applications. I hope you can find Computer Implemented Inventions to participate on the World Cup from your country.
