This is an International Show of Inventions and Innovations that brings science, technology, and business together. Here you will show your project i.e. a scientific development or an innovative solution to a particular problem to researchers, entrepreneurs and investors from all over the world. You can get valuable feedback from them or a grant to develop your idea!

Have you managed to create a robot that takes care of pets while the owners are away? Do you already have a prototype of a device that purifies the waters of the Azov sea? Did you come up with a food delivery app that will become a food tech giant? Then INTARG waits for you!

The International Show takes place every year in Katowice, Poland. The event is supported by the International Federation of Inventors' Associations (IFIA), World Association of inventive intellectual property (WIIPA), Ministry of Development, Labour and Technology of Poland, as well as numerous Polish international organizations and information partners.

INTARG invites young inventors, students of 9-11 forms, who have their own invention or development. Let's invent, create and develop!
If the event is held offline, participants gather in Katowice, a Polish city of picturesque parks, modern architecture and street art. If it is online, presentations will take place on the INTARG digital platform.

INTARG is held every year in June. During the pandemic, the organizers hold the event online. Presentations take place on an ultramodern digital platform. Along with the project presentations, there are conferences and discussions that inspire participants to be creative and help them to find like-minded people.

The INTARG digital platform brings together participants from all over the world in virtual chats and rooms with video or audio conferences. In short, it is a real cyber world with its own rules and cool design, like in Minecraft or World of Tanks!

The platform also helps you personalize your online exhibition stand. You can present posters, videos, photos, infographics, anything that will help you visualize your project!
