Meet the innovators pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Talk directly to the creators behind the robots.

List of confirmed exhibitors:

1. František Duchoň, Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics

Thanks to him, you’ll be able to play robotic checkers in the EXPO zone. He is a renowned Slovak expert and professor at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, specializing primarily in robotics and cybernetics. As the founder of the National Robotics Center, he has long focused on the development of intelligent systems and on connecting academic research with real industrial practice.

2. ESET

A global company developing software that protects individuals and businesses from viruses, malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. In addition to its well-known antivirus solutions, ESET provides advanced network and data security, protecting hundreds of millions of users worldwide. In the EXPO zone, they will showcase live demonstrations of how XDR/MDR works.

3. KVANT

A Slovak manufacturer and exporter focused primarily on robotics, optical technologies, laser systems, and educational tools. At ITAPA EXPO, they will present the Slovakia’s first robotic speaker - the humanoid robot Robi - as well as a robotic dog.

4. ARICOMA

In Slovakia, they are building the future of quantum technologies - not theoretically, but through real-world solutions and devices such as Quantum Desktop, the first quantum computer of its kind in Slovakia. Aricoma helps companies become “quantum-ready” - preparing them for a world where AI alone will no longer be enough.

5. SKYRO

A modern secondary school focused on AI, IT, and emerging technologies. The school intentionally connects education with real-world practice - students do not simply memorize theory, but work on real projects involving programming, robotics, AI, and app development. In the EXPO zone, they will showcase a robotic dog.

6. Martin Šperka, Computer Museum

Guided tour “From Retro to Quantum” - a fascinating journey through technological evolution, from the first home computers to the era of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies. A nostalgic exhibition of historical devices that became the foundation of today’s quantum age.

At ITAPA EXPO, you will see historical artifacts including the world’s first Intel microprocessor, processors used in quantum computers, components and a video presentation of the first Slovak analog computer, the first Slovak personal computers Didaktik, and personal computers from other countries such as the USA and the USSR. You will also see the first portable computers (laptops), punch cards later used by IBM, and learn about the computer that made Bill Gates wealthy, as well as the system used to test the Jaslovské Bohunice nuclear power plant - and much more.

Don’t be fooled by appearances - Mr. Martin Šperka has a unique story behind every exhibit, and there is virtually no question he cannot answer.

7. Michal Adamík, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava

He works at the intersection of technology, art, and innovation. At Slovak University of Technology, he explores how artificial intelligence and robotics can be integrated into human work, creativity, and decision -making. He founded the startup RobotsDoArt, which develops robotic installations as a form of artistic communication between humans and machines. In the EXPO zone, he will present an exhibition of artworks created by a robotic arm.

The EXPO zone takes place in parallel with the Spring ITAPA 2026 conference.
