The International Exhibition of Scientific Research, Innovation, and Invention – PRO INVENT – is the landmark event where inventors, entrepreneurs, academic representatives, and technology enthusiasts come together to shape the future. For over two decades, we have facilitated dialogue between creativity and the market, promoting excellence in research and innovations with real impact.
The PRO INVENT journey began in the spring of 2002 at the Expo Transilvania Complex in Cluj-Napoca, during the “Foresta” International Fair. From the very beginning, we have shown a strong commitment to promoting both Romanian and international ingenuity.
● The following four editions were successfully held as part of the International Technical Fair, also at Expo Transilvania, further strengthening the exhibition’s reputation.
● Official recognition came in 2008, when the PRO INVENT Exhibition was registered as a trademark with the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks (OSIM), under certificate no. 100,000. The trademark holder is the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (UTCN), our strategic partner and a cornerstone of Romanian research.
● Between 2014 and 2016, the exhibition was hosted in the modern facilities of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (103–105 Muncii Boulevard) to be closer to the academic environment.
● Since 2018, we have explored new horizons by bringing technology enthusiasts together at the BT Arena Multipurpose Hall, while the 2020 and 2021 editions were successfully held online, overcoming physical barriers.
● In 2023, we enthusiastically returned to the well-established UTCN venues on Muncii Boulevard, reaffirming our strong connection with the academic environment.
Over the years, PRO INVENT has been the launchpad and recognition platform for countless inventions across nearly every field – from energy and environmental protection to healthcare, agriculture, and innovative materials..
At each edition, the exhibition brings together a vibrant community made up of:
● Universităţi de prestigiu şi institute de cercetare din România şi din străinătate.
● Research centers and stations dedicated to technological progress.
● Innovative companies and business representatives seeking solutions and partnerships.
● Inventors' associations and independent inventors.
● Students and young researchers eager to present their ideas.
A special section of the exhibition is dedicated to the outstanding work of students involved in university innovation and research structures, giving them the opportunity to showcase their potential.
With each new edition, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting and celebrating innovation. The PRO INVENT 2025 edition offers a dynamic format and expanded opportunities for all participants. We invite you to explore what’s new this year and join our vibrant community.
