SEPTEMBER 2018 UPDATE

Advanced technologies to improve battery performance, self-driving vehicle navigation and active aerodynamics to improve fuel efficiency are ready for commercialization from this month’s featured members. These varied technologies are available for commercialization after years of development derived with underlying technologies that did not exist so long ago, demonstrating that invention is a community activity which results from the cumulative effect of research, year after year.

The curated I-Hub provides resources to commercialize and monetize Intellectual Property, and to access software, events, novel databases, special reports, government resources, in-the-pulse blogs, and innovation leader presentations.

As always, we invite all readers to join our intellectual property marketplace, free of charge, and engage the community and to attend one of the over 100 global conferences we will support this year to personally engage the change agents.
