First Polish TRIZ Conference in October 2015
Dr Sergey Yatsunenko (Organizer):

The main idea of the this event is to present TRIZ to the Polish market as powerful methodology
and at the same time as a powerful tool for everyday usage.
On 15. / 16. October 2015 the TRIZ kick-off for the Polish TRIZ association took place in Kielce(200 km south of Warsaw, Poland). Dr. Simon Litvin handed over the official certificate from theMATRIZ organization and thus open the conference. The conference included a set of invited
speakers that gave the audience of ~ 120 people an introduction to TRIZ and laid out several
application examples. The value of TRIZ in terms of effectiveness, combination with other tools
and applicability in different technology areas like chemistry, mechanics, electrics,etc. was demonstrated by TRIZmaster
Oleg Abramov. Finally the implementation of TRIZ, especially in small andmedium size enterprises was discussed.
The conference as well included a round table discussion, where the attended
discussed first amongst themselves question they had and the presented thento a panel of experts for discussion.
Novismo was the organizing company for the event and managed to set up
a great event that took place at the same fair as a parallel local innovation
event. By this the conference was given a great adjacent flair to promote
TRIZ in Poland.

March 2018, 25 Participants from different Backgrounds(TRIZ-beginners and –users, various industries)
Sponsored by MATRIZ and VDI
3 parallel streams with 11 sessions covering different
topics (e.g. wearable defibrillator, removing plastic wastefrom oceans, innovations for finance companies), using
different TRIZ approaches
Conclusions:
BarCamp format highly able to tackle problems in short timeframes
Sessions need moderator and a „game plan“
Self-organization and engagement from participants is mandatory, thus
fostering an „agile mindset“
Paper about the BarCamp has been entered for TRIZfest 2019
