IGA's goal is to teach individuals how to best commercialize their product ideas and strengthen and support inventor groups throughout the nation.
Ideas from individuals drive innovation. Many inventors do not have the knowledge or tools to commercialize their products whether by starting their own business or licensing. IGA provides inventors with resources, information, access and support — including a new educational webinar featuring an inventing expert every month. Our website offers a place for inventors to learn and share.
Our monthly meetings for inventing group leaders provide guest speakers as well as a platform for members to ask questions, share suggestions, and get assistance from others in the group. We offer best practices on the following topics:
Definitions of licensing and venturing terms
General information on various industries
Intellectual property strategies, particularly for those on a budget
Trade show listings
Steps for licensing product ideas gathered from experts
Tips on venturing from proven successful entrepreneurs
Directory of local and regional inventor organizations
