Geneva International Inventions Exhibition 2026

The 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva, held from March 11 to 15, 2026, at Palexpo, once again demonstrated its global leadership as a premier for invention and technological advancement. In a year marked by global uncertainty, the exhibition stood resilient, attracting participation from over 35 countries and regions and showcasing more than 1,000 groundbreaking inventions to an audience exceeding 30,000 visitors.

This year’s edition placed a strong emphasis on the next generation of innovators, highlighting not only technological excellence but also the growing importance of youth engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainable development.

A defining highlight of the 2026 edition was the launch of the Youth Lab and the “Young Talents” competition, designed for participants aged 4 to 18.

The junior Grand Prix was awarded to Aljawharah Alqahtani (Saudi Arabia) for PulMind, an AI-powered system that enhances respiratory disease monitoring and early risk detection. This initiative reflects a strategic shift toward nurturing innovation at an early age and building future ecosystems of creativity and problem-solving.

Interactive workshops and hands-on activities further enriched the experience, making science and innovation accessible, engaging, and inspiring for young audiences.
