An institutional collaboration has been established between the "Nikola Tesla" Memorial Center and MIPRO, with the shared goal of jointly promoting the annual award. Dr. Tatjana Kolak, Director of the Lika Museum Gospić, expressed strong support for the initiative and highlighted the importance of this award as a contemporary reminder of Tesla’s spirit of inventiveness and global vision.

The ICT award “Tesla’s Beacon of Knowledge” has been placed in the exhibition space of the "Nikola Tesla" Memorial Center as a permanent symbol of excellence and innovation in the field of information and communication technologies.

 

This annual award recognizes individuals and organizations that make exceptional contributions to ICT development, innovation, and the digital future. It is becoming a widely recognized symbol of top achievements — a kind of “ICT Oscar” — traditionally presented in Opatija as part of the International ICT and Electronics Convention – MIPRO.

To enhance visibility and public recognition of the laureates, the diploma of the most recent recipient, Nobel laureate Ferenc Krausz, will also be displayed alongside the award sculpture in the Memorial Center, ensuring continuity, historical context, and inspiration for future generations of experts, innovators, and visitors.
