International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva showcases global innovation
The 51st International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva has concluded successfully after five very busy days. Between 11 and 15 March 2026, inventors, investors, and the general public came together at Palexpo, Geneva, to explore more than 1,000 inventions from 35 countries and regions.
Alongside a hall full of exhibits, an extensive program of presentations and workshops was on offer, including a range of activities for children and young people.
More than 30,000 entries were recorded.
WIPO was once again one of the patrons of the Exhibition, and around 50 personnel from the Organization – including members of the PCT team – were on hand throughout to meet participants and offer expert advice on all aspects of intellectual property (IP) protection. WIPO shared a booth with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, and WIPO colleagues toured the hall to meet exhibitors and visitors.
The WIPO Prize at the Exhibition was awarded to MTR Corporation Ltd of Hong Kong SAR for its Acoustic GearGuard technology, which uses sound technology to monitor train parts without touching them.
