Inventors' Club

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

Whilst many of us 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 this 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

Speakers for the ICBL meeting on 28th July 2025

Joanna is developing an innovative application for a retrofit solar solution. She will be presenting her idea to the club, seeking feedback on the product, potential funding opportunities, and the path forward. She also welcomes questions and challenges that could help surface blind spots or spark ideas she may not have considered."

Barry is the rare example of an inventor who has launched his first product which has proved to be very successful (including a write-up on Forbes!). It’s a case study from which we can all learn. He can answer any questions on selling (lots) on Amazon.
