9 November – World Inventors Day

There is no greater satisfaction for the human heart than the feeling that overwhelms an inventor when he sees his idea turn into reality.
Nikola Tesla


World Inventors Day, which is celebrated on November 9, is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of human creativity, innovation and creative spirit, as well as the contribution of individuals whose ideas and inventions changed the world and improved everyday life.

This date is celebrated in honor of inventors and innovators who, with their knowledge, imagination, research work and courage to think differently, pushed the limits of the possible. Their achievements remind us that every great invention begins with an idea, curiosity and a willingness to rethink and improve existing solutions.

It is especially important to encourage creativity and innovation in children and young people, to develop a research spirit and to create an environment in which ideas, knowledge and talents can develop freely. Investing in education, science, culture and creativity represents an investment in a society that recognizes the potential of individuals and opens up space for new generations of creators and innovators.

The Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports, on the occasion of World Inventors’ Day, congratulates all inventors, innovators, researchers and creative individuals, with the message that knowledge, imagination and creativity are an inexhaustible source of progress and an important foundation for the development of any society.

Invention requires a good imagination and a bunch of seemingly useless things.
Thomas A. Edison
