IGA is a group founded in 2017 by the leaders of the inventing community. Our goal is two-fold: 1) we want to teach individuals how to best commercialize their product ideas, and 2) we want to 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. Our website offers a place for inventors to learn and share. Our monthly meetings 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 termsGeneral information on various industriesIntellectual property strategies, particularly for those on a budgetTrade show listingsSteps for licensing product ideas gathered from expertsTips on venturing from proven successful entrepreneursDirectory of local and regional inventor organizations
