INVENTOR’S LIFTOFF BRINGS TRIAD AREA START-UPS TOGETHER FOR COLLABORATION, EDUCATION AND RAPID BUSINESS LAUNCH
MARCH 26, 2015 GREENSBORO, NC
Inventors
Liftoff, a collaboration between The Forge and the Greensboro
Partnership Entrepreneur Connection, is an event to inspire, inform, and
showcase inventors and innovators in Greensboro, NC and the Triad
Region.
This free event will take place April 1-3 2015 at Gibbs Hundred Brewery and The Forge, and is open to the public. Registration is required.
“All
inventors are called ‘fools’ until they make money, so we couldn't
think of a better day to launch this support event than April Fools
Day,” said Joel Leonard, Community Development Coordinator at The Forge.
Successful
inventors will share their stories and inspire other promising
inventors to transform their own ideas to actuality. Inventors at every
stage will receive tactical advice from experts on topics including
intellectual property protection, industrial design, prototyping,
finding investment funding, as well as marketing and communication.
“We
are excited to see what local innovators are working on, and to
showcase the success of other local inventors,” Leonard added. “It’s
time to raise awareness about the great start-ups and entrepreneurs
coming out of the Triad.”
