Program and expositions

This year’s programme will be newly enriched by the Czech Army (only first day of the exhibition), which will present selected equipment and technology used both in training and in operational tasks at home and abroad.

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore modern military technology up close and meet soldiers who will introduce the technologies used in today’s armed forces.

The main highlight of this exhibition will be the Leopard 2 main battle tank, one of the most advanced armored vehicles used by European armies today. This impressive machine, weighing over 55 tonnes (55,150 kg), offers a unique opportunity to experience cutting-edge military technology from close range.

The Czech Army’s presentation also demonstrates the crucial role that innovation and modern technologies play not only in industry, but also in ensuring safety and protecting human lives.

Another attractive highlight of the programme will be a mobile biathlon shooting range, which recently gained great attention at the Olympic Festival in České Budějovice. Visitors to INVENT ARENA will have the opportunity to try biathlon shooting themselves and symbolically follow in the footsteps of Czech biathlon successes from recent Winter Olympic Games. Perhaps it is in Třinec where the sporting journey of a future biathlon talent will begin.

Have a training day as a NASA astronaut! Test your skills, knowledge and courage, which are indispensable when going into space. At the end of the training, you'll take a proper stress test on the gyroscope.

The gyroscope for this event was provided by Elektromont, in cooperation with Dolní oblast Vítkovice.

Come and meet the students of the Jablunkov Secondary School, who will present, among other things:

The FANUC Robotic Cell: an industrial robot that draws and demonstrates various handling techniques.

Arduino and LEGO: we'll show how easy and fun it can be to program the Arduino microcontroller and the LEGO kit.

Hydrogen RC model: the model that was awarded for the best innovation at the 2024 MCR.

The Tatra Promet Eco Race racing special represents a unique combination of motorsport, engineering development and innovation. Visitors will have the opportunity to see this exceptional vehicle up close, discover the technologies hidden beneath its bodywork, and even enjoy a unique ride in the race car itself. Technology, performance and adrenaline in one place: INVENT ARENA brings together cutting-edge technologies, innovation and a sustainable approach to the future, demonstrating that the world of motorsport can also serve as a platform for developing advanced technological solutions.

Visitors will get a glimpse into the wide world of study and research at the university – from engineering and materials science to artistic foundry work. The StudentCar project will showcase the development of a car from initial concept and design through the work of engineers, materials specialists and 3D printing experts to electronics and servicing. A robotic dog developed by the robotics team will demonstrate that it can not only walk but even perform a somersault. The tabletop Nanospider will produce nanofibres from recycled plastics while also presenting methods of material recycling and the development of polymer nanocomposites. Visitors can also experience the work of a quality manager by assembling wooden tractors, and the programme will be complemented by a unique exhibition of artistic castings created by students of artistic foundry, including bronze and other alloy works.

The 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.

A place where books, technology and people meet. One of the most important cultural and community centres in Třinec will present a diverse selection of its activities and show that the Třinec Library is far more than just a place to borrow books. It is a modern space for learning, discovery and meeting people across generations. Visitors will be able to try board games focused on environmental topics, explore how artificial intelligence can be used in education, immerse themselves in virtual reality, work with programmable robots, or watch 3D printing in action. Třinec Library has long been among the most active and innovative public libraries in the Czech Republic and has received numerous awards for its work. The institution will present itself as a modern centre of knowledge where technology, creativity and lifelong learning come together.

Discover the world of modern information technology through projects developed by students of the Information Technology programme. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore examples of 3D-printed robotics controlled by MicroBite devices and try basic programming in a hands-on way.You will also learn about technologies based on Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi platforms and gain insight into robotics and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.The presentation will also feature software projects created by students, including selected graduation projects from both current and previous years. Discover what the technologies of the future look like through the eyes of young innovators.
