VSB - Technical university of Ostrava
Representatives of VŠB-TUO will bring a welding simulator, on which you will be able to try welding metals and other materials. They will be casting products for daily use, using a device made on a 3D printer, students will prepare their favourite drink. During the guided demonstrations, you will learn how tunnels are built, what materials can be used to make pigments, and what the architecture of a house looks like. In addition, you can take part in a quiz on the topic of the Manager of Today.
Horizon Educational
Under the roof of the WERK ARENA there will also be hydrogen cars brought by Horizon Educational, a company that focuses on educational events for students and teachers around the world. In building the cars, students will get a unique opportunity to learn about sustainability, renewable energy and alternative fuel principles. Through various experiments and special teaching materials, they can translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications. With cars that students design and build themselves, they can then take part in real races. As part of the accompanying programme of INVENT ARENA 2024, you can also test them out!
technikiada
Technikiada is a nationwide skill-educational game aimed at developing the skills of primary school pupils. Its motto is "Learn and have fun". The game starts with a simple registration of the pupil-player in the electronic skills register of Technikiada via a QR code, which you can find at the Technikiada stand. During the game, pupils collect TECHcoins and create their electronic portfolio of activities and skills, which is used as a tool to help them choose the right secondary school. In addition, they can exchange the virtual coins in a virtual store for gifts provided by the game's partners and supporters. Come register, learn and have fun during INVENT ARENA!
podoba kovova
The INVENT ARENA 2024 exhibition will include an exhibition of artistic castings and other works by students of the Artistic Foundry Studies programme. Artistic Foundry is a unique study programme and its teaching is provided only at the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology of the University of Bohemia and Technology of the Czech Republic. Thanks to the exhibition PoDoba kovOVA you will have a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the works of students of this study, not only with the final castings in bronze and other alloys, but also with drawings, paintings and sketches, which are inherently connected with the whole artistic process.
Brno university of technology
Brno University of Technology invites you to an exhibition of innovative exponents. Discover revolutionary solutions in electromobility, such as new ways of cooling batteries. See additively manufactured aero engine components, stator brackets with optimised finning and advanced cooling for aero engines. Among the featured exhibits, you will find development models of compressor wheels, special brackets for fixing satellite antennas, bistable mechanisms, optimized automotive suspension components, objects made using large-format 3D printing and other technical solutions.
Special attention should be paid to the Formula Dragon e4, the fourteenth model built by students of the Brno University of Technology. This car is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 8kWh and two electric motors with an output of 35 kW that drive the rear wheels.

Integrated Rescue Services Day
The 21st annual IZS Day will take place this year as part of the INVENT ARENA exhibition of innovations and patents in the parking lot of the WERK ARENA. At the event you will find new technology and innovative procedures of the Fire Rescue Service of the Moravian-Silesian Region, the Police of the Czech Republic, the Třinec Municipal Police, the Customs Administration, the Medical Rescue Service and the Fire Department of Třinec Ironworks. The programme will include a static tour of the equipment (e.g. a modern tanker, hawk system, 3D glasses, weapons demonstration, cynology, rope slide), but also dynamic demonstrations (drug search, securing the perpetrator, intervention in a traffic accident),
The IZS components will be present at the event only on 12 June 2024, throughout the day.

Veteran salon
On the occasion of the INVENT ARENA 2024 exhibition, it will also be possible to visit the Veteran Salon, located next to KARIREAL, on 12 June from 10am to 3pm. The oldest jewel in the showroom is a Skoda R4 from 1929. Alongside it will be other Skodas, pre-war Tatra cars, American legends such as Buick, Dodge and a 1958 Cadillac DeVille. Sports enthusiasts will be delighted to see the Škoda 120 S and Škoda 130 RS, with which Jan Trajbold won the Peace Cup in 1979 and 1981. Don't miss the collection of historic motorbikes from Jawa, Čz and Ogar. The most interesting exhibits undoubtedly include the "Oscar" seaplane, which with its unusual construction and appearance will attract every visitor. Take this opportunity to come and admire history on four wheels.
TŘINEC MUSEUM
The Třinec Museum celebrates 55 years of its establishment and on the occasion of the 185th anniversary of the founding of the steelworks, it is organising an exhibition Treasures and Curiosities from the Depository. On display will be several museum treasures that were made in the ironworks or acquired as gifts. In total, you can see 400 ordinary, curious and rare objects that tell the story of the region and map the rich self-help and DIY activities of the workers of the Trinec ironworks in the second half of the last century. The exhibition also includes a creative accompanying programme, a demonstration of raw materials for the production of steel, intermediate products or their own products, or, for example, railway rails.
Hydrogen powered TATRA
The TATRA Force e-Drive, which was first shown to the public in October last year, will also demonstrate how hydrogen fuel cells work. It is a third-generation Tatra Force chassis vehicle with a propulsion system using hydrogen fuel cells. The vehicle is being developed by a five-member consortium led by ÚJV Řež. Other partners in the project are TATRA TRUCKS, Devinn, the University of Chemical Technology in Prague and Centrum.
TATRA 815 4X4 Assistance
The TATRA 815 is renowned for its robust construction and ability to cope with difficult terrain conditions, making it ideal for the role of an assistance vehicle in rallies such as the Dakar. This particular TATRA 815 is a flatbed version, which allows for the transport of a large number of spare parts and tools. The hull normally carries tyres, arms, semi-axles and other parts that are most often needed for repairs during the race. During the exhibition you can see the Tatra and take part in a discussion about the ECO RACE race.
