The world ́s greatest visionaries have once again visited the Czech Republic, thanks to Innovation Week 2019: the country’s largest annual event in support of innovations, was held from May 20th to May 26th. The international conference was held on Monday May 20th in the Forum Karlín, where attendees got to listen to speakers including Sabrina Pasterski, a promising physicist called „The New Einstein“ by the Harvard University; Anna Du, the young girl who built a microplastic-detecting robot to save our oceans; Michael Gozin and Alexander Goldberg, the scientists from Tel Aviv University who invented a sustainable “bioplastics” polymer; and many more.
The Inovation Week also offered an Innovation Fair with professional seminars, offering the possibility to see and experience many breakthrough technologies, such as a virtual reality flight simulator. More than one hundred accompanying events were organized as part of Innovation Week in many Czech cities.
