This decision aims to allow a larger number of inventors to partake in this event, according to a statement of Moroccan organization OFEED.
The event provides opportunities for all individual inventors, innovative companies, universities, and scientific research centers, to express their creativity and innovative capacity.
The Innovation Week, announced initially for September 8-12, features several prominent speakers and international innovation experts, whose interventions are broadcast live via the OFEED Web TV.
Also "Master of Innovation" certificates will be handed out to participants upon request, while several Innovation-centered contests will be held each week and the winners will be announced every Saturday, the organizers added.
IWA 2020 also hosts an online exhibition of inventions with the possibility of direct interaction with the inventors or their representatives, according to the organizers.
The event is held by OFEED under the patronage of the International Federation of Inventors' Associations (IFIA) and with the support of The Patent Magazine as the International Media Partner and the Oxford Business Group as the Research Partner.
