According to information released by the National University of Vietnam, two out of three of Vietnam’s inventions also received special awards by the Korea University Invention Association and the Malaysian Invention & Design Society.
The exhibition attracted inventions by more than 1,000 students from 26 countries and territories throughout the world, with members of the jury from the World Invention Intellectual Property Associations (WIIPA).
Inventions to be awarded medals must be innovative, practical, commercially viable and environmentally friendly.
The event was jointly organised by the WIIPA, Kaohsiung authorities, the Taiwan Invention Products Promotion Association and invention associations from a number of countries.
This is the third time the International Youth Invention Exhibition has been held in Taiwan.
