What Invenio - Národní centrum podpory nadání does

Invenio – Národní centrum podpory nadání (Centrum Invenio) is a Czech non-profit (zapsaný ústav) headquartered at Hlinky 487/35 in Brno, providing psychodiagnostics, counseling, mentoring, and professional education for intellectually gifted children and their families. The core offering is individual psychological diagnostics built on standardized intelligence tests (IDS, WISC, WJ, BACH) augmented by the team's proprietary Invenio Diagnostic System and the TIM3-5 mathematical-talent screener, delivered through tiered packages (Basic/Plus, CZK 2,500–6,900) at the Brno center. Complementary products include parent counseling (CZK 1,000/hour), a mentoring program for children aged 9–17 (CZK 300/session introductory), paid webinars, e-books, and professional courses for teachers and psychologists (CZK 800–3,000).

The technology backbone combines a psychologist-led testing workflow with a unique research capability: the Jacob Hansen Research Station, a VR- and eye-tracking-equipped facility for collecting stress, attention, and motor-skill data on gifted children. Distribution is hybrid — direct in-person delivery in Brno plus nation-wide online services (counseling, mentoring, webinars) booked through Reenio, with a growing national partner-school network ("Sítě zapojených škol") as referral channel.

Revenue mechanics blend fee-for-service diagnostics with charity funding through the Invenio fond (one-time and recurring donations, CSR partnerships via Darujme.cz), since client fees cover only a portion of costs. The organization is governed by a správní rada (board) including Mgr. Hana Křepelková (chair) and a supervisory board member with a Masaryk University stress-physiology background; co-founders hold joint appointments at Masaryk University's FSS and PedF, formalizing an academic integration that supplies talent, research data, and credentials. Customer segments span gifted children and adolescents (primary), their parents, teachers and school psychologists, and donors/corporate partners.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Davidson Institute for Talent Development: Established U.S. nonprofit serving profoundly gifted youth through assessment, scholarships, and programming. Broader portfolio than Invenio but addresses the same underlying 'support gifted children' mission and is a comparable benchmark for nonprofit scaling and program design.
• Center for Talented Youth (CTY, Johns Hopkins): Large-scale academic talent identification and enrichment program serving pre-college students globally. Comparable to Invenio in identifying and developing gifted learners, but operates at significantly larger scale with a university-backed institutional model.

Others

• Salutem Group: Czech group of companies that has financially partnered with Invenio to fund diagnostics for disadvantaged gifted children. Comparable as a strategic partner/donor ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, useful for understanding Czech CSR funding patterns.
• European Council for High Ability (ECHA): European professional association for researchers and practitioners in the field of high ability/giftedness. Comparable to Invenio's academic-research and professional-development pillar, providing training, conferences, and a network that Invenio's team is likely already engaged with.
• Masarykova univerzita — Fakulta sociálních studií / Pedagogická fakulta: Invenio's core academic partner; MU faculty members are co-founders and research collaborators. Not a competitor, but a closely entwined ecosystem participant whose priorities (research, teaching) shape Invenio's operational capacity and trajectory.
• National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC, Czech counterpart: Asociace pro podporu rozvoje nadaných dětí): U.S. advocacy and professional membership organization for gifted education, including teacher training standards and policy work. Comparable to Invenio's role in Czech gifted-education ecosystem — though Invenio combines advocacy with direct service delivery, unlike NAGC.

Direct peers

• Mensa Česká republika: Czech branch of Mensa International, focused on identifying and connecting intellectually gifted individuals, including children. Comparable in target audience (gifted Czechs) and partial overlap with Invenio's assessment and community-building mission, though Mensa focuses on IQ-based membership rather than full psychodiagnostics.
• Gifted Development Center (Linda Silverman): U.S. center offering comprehensive gifted assessment, counseling, and parent/teacher education — the closest international analog to Invenio's combined diagnostic + counseling + professional development model. Useful proxy for what a scaled, mature version of Invenio could look like.
• Pedagogicko-psychologická poradna (PPP network, Czech Republic): State-funded Czech network of pedagogical-psychological counseling centers that provides intelligence and learning diagnostics to children, including gifted identification. Directly comparable service offering to Invenio's Individual Diagnostics, but delivered free of charge within the public school system — making it the primary price benchmark and substitute.

Emerging players

• SENG (Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted): U.S. nonprofit focused on the social-emotional needs of gifted individuals, including counseling resources, parent groups, and professional training. Direct overlap with Invenio's parent counseling and socio-emotional (Talismánek) offerings, especially for the gifted/twice-exceptional segment.
