The 33rd International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition (ITEX), Malaysia was held on 26-27th May 2022 at the KL Convention Centre.
ITEX provides an opportunity for inventors and innovators to commercialize their new invention or product by attracting and imploring investors, venture capitalists, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, distributors and the corporate sectors to explore new business ventures and invest in innovative new products. Inventors and innovators will be able to discuss and debate research work with the industry’s keenest and will also have access to a suitable audience for unveiling the prototype of their new product and invention. They can then seek out potential investors and convince them why funding their invention can benefit society, while also receiving feedback from the investors so that they may be able to fine-tune their inventions to achieve successful commercialisation.
