Conclave Looks at Tools to Commercialize New Products
At an upcoming conclave on new product development, the NAHB Research Center will be demonstrating online product commercialization tools of interest to inventors and manufacturers, and it will be previewing its newest tool, “The Financing Guide.”
“The presentation, which is supported by HUD’s PATH (Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing) program, is a prime opportunity for inventors to learn the steps required to present their building-product idea to a manufacturer,” said Dr. Randy Cantrell, manager of innovation research at the Research Center.
The Research Center demonstration is being featured as part of a one-day event by GarageInventorLive.org. focusing on the value of development platforms for new products; it will be held on Aug. 12 at the NASA/Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.
“In today’s world, new idea resources are available to big business, but are often outside the reach of the independent inventor,” said Mary Kay Denning, founder of GarageInventorLive.org.
“We’ve extended an invitation to an amazing group of marketing professionals, academics, scientists, engineers, manufacturers, investors and industry leaders,” she said. “We’re very motivated to get new ideas production-ready.”
