Networking
Members of INVINT have the opportunity to present their ideas and inventions to the group for feedback and advice. The presentations are kept in confidence since INVINT meetings are considered a confidential forum and members agree not to disclose ideas discussed at the meetings. These presentations are great practice for inventors pitching their ideas to investors or potential licensees. INVINT also hopes to promote the development of ideas, as well as valuable business connections through its networking opportunities.
