Since its inception in 1971, INOVA has been held every autumn at the Zagreb Fair, Croatia's largest exhibition center. Conveniently located in the center of the capital Zagreb, the exhibition center is an important international platform for presenting inventions, new products and innovations. This year's INOVA is carefully organized by the Croatian Inventors Association, a leading organization dedicated to supporting inventors and entrepreneurs.
The exhibition focuses on the display of innovations from a wide range of industries, covering fields such as medicine, information and communication technology, engineering, biotechnology, product design, nanotechnology, energy, agriculture, food, tourism, and the chemical and textile industries. INOVA provides a unique platform for inventors, entrepreneurs, scientists and scientific research institutions to showcase their latest products and services, becoming a window to showcase the most cutting-edge developments, which not only affect the Croatian market, but also play an important role in the global innovation landscape.
A highlight of the exhibition is the high-profile awards, such as the "Best Croatian Award" and the "Best International Award", which are aimed at recognizing outstanding inventions and innovations. In addition to product presentations, INOVA also promotes the exchange and sharing of knowledge and ideas through seminars, guided tours and festive evenings, providing participants with opportunities to expand their network.
Zagreb Fair has modern exhibition facilities and is easily accessible by public transport or by car, providing great convenience for participants and exhibitors. INOVA is more than just a trade show, it is an inspiring and forward-looking event that provides inventors and innovators with a valuable opportunity to showcase their ideas to an international audience and establish important partnerships. The 49th INOVA will be held from September 25 to 27, 2025. This three-day event is sure to attract the attention of the global innovation community.
