What’s New in ITEX 2017?

AS we draw closer to ITEX 2017, we are proud to announce that ITEX is now supported by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) and also the International Federation of Inventors Associations (IFIA)! ITEX 2017 is gearing up to deliver a highly impactful exhibition that provides commercialisation opportunities to all the brilliant inventions showcased in the exhibition. One of the features to achieve this would be the ITEX’s 2017 Startups Showcase, which would provide the companies the exposure their brand deserves. This Showcase is ITEX’s latest section catering to companies planning to make its break in the highly saturated startup market. Almost all businesses spend many painstaking months grooming lucrative ideas into viable business opportunities. Gaining initial recognition from investors followed by market validation is what startups essentially need to take off. Acting as an accelerator, the ITEX 2017 Startups Showcase will help facilitate business needs and move them in the right direction while providing an enabling environment for stimulating engagements to flourish. Activities such as the pitching sessions are designed to give startups valuable face time with the right investors whom are equally as keen to place their bet on the next big thing. To top it off, with Malaysian government’s latest announcement that 2017 will be the “Startup & SME Promotion Year”, ITEX 2017 Startups Showcase will definitely be a viable and relevant platform that provides multiple opportunities for businesses to rub elbows with the right crowd! On the other hand, a showcase of hundreds of ingenious creations by young minds will also be presented through the staging of the World Young Inventors Exhibition (WYIE) in 2017. WYIE will be a co-located exhibition at ITEX 2017, which will be an overarching event for ITEX’s three annual flagship shows for budding inventors: the Asian Young Inventors Exhibition (AYIE), the Malaysian Young Inventors Exhibition (MYIE) and the Young Inventors Exhibition. These exhibitions will take on a new look fueled by better and bigger awe-inspiring ideas. The setting for WYIE will be meticulously planned to stimulate conduciveness in areas of thought flow, ideas exchange and to challenge the creativity and innovativeness among young minds.
