Statements about the iENA 2023

Henning and Thilo Könicke, Managing Directors AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen, organisers of the iENA

“We’re highly satisfied with the iENA 2023. We were able to showcase over 500 exciting ideas, inventions and new products in Nuremberg. Special thanks go to our partner China this year and the China Association of Inventions (CAI). The inventors who exhibited report excellent discussions and new prospects for their innovations. It was clearly noticeable that the quality of innovations on display has increased. As a result, the iENA was also a particularly attractive offering for investors and licensors”.

HE Zhenfu, CAI China Association of Inventions

HE Zhenfu, Vice President of the CAI China Association of Inventions, was in Nuremberg in person and opened the Inventors' Fair 2023 with a welcoming address. He was very satisfied with the course of the anniversary fair: “The 75th Nuremberg Trade Fair for Ideas, Inventions and Innovations (iENA) is a unique international event for inventions and innovations. China’s inventions were a fair highlight. As an official partner of the iENA 2023, China received high praise from the fair’s organisers and the public for 80 high-quality innovations from 15 universities, six research institutions and 25 companies. Some investors and companies have already shown great interest in various inventions and their commercial exploitation. In the future, the China Association of Inventions (CAI) will continue to promote cooperation with the iENA and provide high-quality inventions and innovations, commercialisation of achievements and international exchange services for innovation institutions, companies, universities and inventors in China and Germany. Congratulations on the great success of this exhibition!”

China was partner of iENA in 2023.

Prof. Dr. Oliver Mayer, Bayern Innovativ

Chairman of the jury, Prof. Dr. Oliver Mayer (Bayern Innovativ), praised the inventions’ quality: “With over 500 inventions and innovations presented from every area of technology, the iENA offers a wonderful overview of the products of tomorrow.”

Manuel Vogel, Student Research Centre South Württemberg SFZ

Manuel Vogel, educational director at the Schülerforschungszentrum Südwürttemberg (SFZ), made it possible for student inventors to take part in the iENA and helped them prepare for their attendance: “The iENA was a complete success for our youth inventors again this year. Specialist discussions on an equal footing with experts from the relevant fields, a wide range of feedback from interested visitors and talking with youth inventors from all over the world in person once again provided a special setting. As in previous years, contact with an interested company might now form the basis for founding a start-up for a product presented by the youth inventors. That is of course a highlight”.

Wolfgang Müller, Steinbeis-Transferzentrums Infothek

Wolfgang Müller is Head of the Steinbeis Transfer Centre Infothek and was at the Steinbeis Lounge at the iENA with a number of inventors: “Overall, we can look back on a successful fair – our goals have been achieved. Many of the exhibitors found co-operation partners, with some receiving specific enquiries for quantities of their products in the five-digit range. The topic of product acceptance in particular was confirmed for many projects, and ideas from visitors taken on board. Negotiations with investors have been agreed for the period after the trade fair”.
