About  International Invention, Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX)
ITEX is an international platform for local and international inventors and research scientists to present their inventions and innovations to a business community keen on commercialising unique inventions. Organised by MINDS (Malaysian Invention & Design Society) since 1989, this annual event attracts inventors with their latest inventions and innovations from universities, research institutions, individual inventors, young inventors, and corporations from Malaysia, Asia and Europe. This year, ITEX was  held from 8th May 2014 to 10th May 2014. ITEX recognises unique inventions through the Inventions of Design Competition where local and international Awards are awarded. These winning inventions gain maximum recognition and attract even more business opportunities. For more information, kindly visit:  http://www.itex.com.my/index.php
