MAY 2015 UPDATE

The identification and transition of indigenous innovation from one end of the advanced manufacturing spectrum to the other—from transportation to medical to infrastructure to consumer-- unlocks R&D budgets and expedites product launch. The inclusive AutoHarvest membership represents all facets of manufacturing innovation and offers new business opportunities outside your principal sector.

Unleashing IP and innovation is the magic that drives the new economy; come search, discover, connect, collaborate and transact in our neutral global ecosystem. For example, medical device leader Stryker offers advanced technology for rechargeable battery packs used in harsh environments that might be useful outside the operating room. What will you uncover?

Every month our I-Hub members provide interesting research, compelling blog entries and video presentations explaining current issues, transaction methods and innovation thinking. We continue to add conference partners who convene top thought leaders who share technology trends and engage in lively discourse on contentious issues. We hope to see you at one of these valuable expos.

As always, we invite all readers to join our intellectual property marketplace, free of charge, and engage the community. Join and get One-Click-Closer® to being our next success story.
