Ten PUCP inventors participated in the Korea International Women's Invention Exposition - KIWIE 2021. The researchers and entrepreneurs of our University obtained great results: 2 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal.
The 14th edition of KIWIE 2021 took place from 1 to 4 September 2021. This event aims to increase interest in women's invention activities and to strengthen and facilitate exchange among women inventors worldwide. It is organised in collaboration with the South Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) and the South Korean Women Inventors Association (KWIA).
Among the highlights was the initiative of Consuelo Cano, an Industrial Design graduate, who won the gold medal for her portable and modular frame. This support allows lung ventilators and medical equipment to be transported to remote areas of Peru. "My goal was to redesign a complex piece of equipment and make it simple to use," says Cano. This year, the frame obtained a Utility Model patent from Indecopi for a period of 10 years.
It should be noted that, in last year's exhibition, our University also managed to stand out with six inventions that were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. These good participations are thanks to the support of our Vice-Rectorate for Research, through the Intellectual Property Office (OPI).
