INTARG® – 19th Invention Expo: Katowice, Poland 1 – 3 June 2026
The 19th International Invention and Innovation Show INTARG® will take place in Katowice on June 1 to 3, 2026. A multi-industry event with a broad interdisciplinary, national, and international reach.
In 2026, the International Ecology and Environmental Protection Fair INTARG® EKO 2026 will be held concurrently with INTARG®.
INTARG® in Poland is supported by leading Polish and international organizations. The 19th INTARG® 2026 is under the patronage of the Polish Government, the City of Katowice, and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), International Federation of Inventors Associations (IFIA). This support testifies to the quality and importance of this international event.
Last year’s event was attended by leading scientific entities, innovative enterprises (SMEs and large ones), start-ups, institutions supporting development and invention, as well as individual inventors.
Participation in the INTARG® show was a step in the process of international and market-oriented promotion and commercialization of inventions and innovations in various fields and industries. It wasn’t only an opportunity to present achievements to a wide audience, but also to establish strategic scientific and business relationships with potential investors, partners, and clients.
The show also had offered valuable knowledge and assistance in the field of intellectual property protection and in obtaining funds for development based on innovation and new technologies.
