November 9: Inventors’ Day in German-speaking Countries (Austria, Germany and Switzerland)

Inventors' Day is observed in German-speaking countries, specifically Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, every November 9. The holiday commemorates the birthday of Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian and American inventor and actress known for co-creating a frequency-hopping system with composer George Antheil in the early 1940s. This invention laid the groundwork for technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and CDMA. Inventors' Day was established by Gerhard Muthenhaler, an inventor and entrepreneur from Berlin, to honor past inventors and recognize contemporary innovators who contribute significantly to science and technology. Lamarr is celebrated as a role model for modern inventors, as she pursued her inventions not for fame or fortune but out of a desire to bring her ideas to life.
