About this Event

Registration is from 5:40pm – prompt start at 6:00pm

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:
