About WICO
The World Invention Creativity Olympic (WICO) features more than 25 international conferences and inventions, presenting patented inventions that generate information on future technologies and new ideas. Global enterprises owe their success and respect to combined technology and management capabilities; in a knowledge-based society, marketing and presentation skills are as important as ideas and inventions themselves.
Thousands of students and entrepreneurs from WICO participating countries develop new technologies through international exchange and achieve strong results at the exhibition. WICO is held concurrently with the Korean Youth Invention Contest and the Asia LOHAS Industrial Exhibition, attended by world-renowned inventors, inspiring participants to become innovative, creative companies and inventors.
