On November 5-7, at the University of Twente in Enschede, the 8th edition of the international TRIZ Future Conference will be held. TRIZ is a set of methods and techniques to support invention and innovation, and translated as "Theory of Solving Inventive Problems". Today TRIZ is used by Intel, P&G, Samsung, Siemens and others as a scientific approach to invention. For TRIZ newcomers, there is a possibility to register for the first day only which will feature tutorials, keynotes and case studies. It is a great opportunity to get to know more about TRIZ and network with TRIZ enthusiasts and professionals.
