Geneva inventions exhibit postponed due to coronavirus

An annual International Exhibition of Inventions held in Geneva has been postponed by six months due to the coronavirus epidemic, its organisers said on Monday, saying that half of its exhibitors come from Asia.

"...The exhibition management has chosen to be wise and decided to postpone the largest event of its kind in the world until September," it said in a statement, citing difficulties for inventors planning their trips.

Of the 50% of exhibitors from Asia, a third of them are from China and a further third from Hong Kong, it added.
