Networking
Inventors' Club
Organised by The British Library
Great ideas can change the world!
About this event
This event is now taking place at the British Library's Business and IP Centre. There will be no ZOOM option. The club meets regularly on the last Monday of the month.
Great ideas can change the world!
However, whilst lots of us often spot the potential for a new product or a new piece of technology, the harsh realities of research and development, prototyping, manufacturing and distribution often mean that few of those ideas make it to market.
At the event, we will be talking to innovators who have already brought their products to market or who just have a “new idea” to discuss. Join us to learn about the journey, the problems to overcome and useful tips about bringing a new product to market.
The Inventors' Club is brought to you by the Business & IP Centre in collaboration with:
Bob Lindsey

He was part of the team which set up the Inventors' Club at Kingston University in 2005, and he regularly runs Innovation Clinics at the British Library.

Speakers for Monday 29th July:
1. Sadie Holehouse has a design and prototype for an item of equipment for use in schools in teaching Reception, YR1 and SEN pupils. Sadie will present her product, the rationale behind it, and will be seeking feedback.
2. Amit Batra is launching an APP, “Property Score®” which will “allow you to measure how much you like your rental or sale property before you decide to put forward an offer.” Not a replacement for Rightmove, Zoopla, Onthemarket, Prime Location etc. but an aid to making an informed decision. Amit will be seeking feedback from our eclectic audience and possibly any real-life testers for beta testing.
