The Minnesota Inventors Congress provides helpful information guiding each inventor through the process of obtaining patents to marketing products. We facilitate professional workshops at minimal costs to the inventor. Finally through fellowship with other inventors our members enjoy encouragement to succeed. We sincerely look forward to meeting with you!
There is no list of people waiting to pay you for your idea!
You need to prove to a company that you can make them money and there are steps you can take to make sure you are spending your money the right way. Let us do the direct you to reliable resources who can help you learn the product development process that successful inventors use to develop marketable products.
Private business needs to focus on developed products and their own bottom line. This is why Minnesota Inventors Congress was founded.

The response I received to
my invention, from people attending the show, from other inventors and the
judges was very important. Everyone showed a genuine interest in the product.
With that response –it gave me the confidence to put money into this.
