In the European innovation ranking, the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region is one of the top innovation regions: An above-average number of patent and trademark applications as well as design applications catapult the region into the top 25 innovation leaders. The United Nations' Global Day of Creativity and Innovation on April 21 was accompanied by an urgent appeal this year: Innovators and creatives are called upon to develop formats that contribute to the prevention and education of the world's population in the fight against the corona virus. The Art of Innovation initiative brings together players from the metropolitan region who will communicate their contributions to this challenge together on Innovation and Creativity Day.
