The supporting programme: Innovation congress and creative and technology festival Hack & Make

On Monday, 3 November, the iENA will be accompanied by the Nuremberg Innovation Congress. Innovations are the engine of progress. But how do you go from a good idea to a marketable product? And what role does standardisation play in this? These questions will be discussed at the Innovation Congress, which will be held in German.

The creative and technology festival Hack & Make runs parallel to the iENA and takes place from 1 to 3 November. It is aimed at creative minds, inventors and the curious.
