Science and technology exhibition

Exhibits such as electric bicycle motors and space satellites await the visitors of the Vilnius Innovation Forum ‘Innovation Drift’, hosted by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania and the Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA).

The exhibition of science and technology will gather Lithuanian and international enterprises, science and technology parks, representatives of governmental institutions and business communities, as well as professionals from different industries to present their innovative solutions, inventions and ideas. The exhibits will feature the electric bicycle motor praised by Sir Richard Branson, unique musical instruments, smart toys, robots and special innovative programmes, as well as mobile laboratories and the first Lithuanian space satellites.

Several inventions at the exhibition will be presented by Kaunas University of Technology (KUT). On a separate stand the visitors will see an identical copy of the satellite ‘LitSat-1’, get familiarised with a smart toy ‘Šnekutis’, an electric wireless rhythm device ‘Woodrum’ for musicians, and a device for visually impaired enabling them to see a two-dimensional picture of the surrounding world.

Vilnius Gediminas Technical University will demonstrate an electromobile, a robot-spider and a prototype for remote iris recognition ‘Gedimino akis’ intended for identifying a person from a distance – all constructed by students.
