IFIA 41st Virtual Executive Committee Meeting
IFIA 41st Virtual Executive Committee meeting was organized on 08.December.2021
IFIA 41st Virtual Executive Committee meeting was organized on 08.December.2021, to launch the new “IFIA Innovation Standard”, or “IIS,” as the federation’s main project in 2022.
IFIA’s Main Project for 2022, IIS, Is Officially Approved By The Executive Committee.
After a year of consideration and putting the process from idea to commercialization in the spotlight, a sustainable, international, and professional innovation standard was not recognized to help innovators, whether to help them in the process of entering the market for amateur innovators or those who were on the path of professional commercialization. Therefore, after many evaluations, IFIA’s team, consisting of many experienced international experts in innovation and inventions, proposed a solution, IFIA Innovation Standard. And now, this new project has been officially approved by IFIA’s Executive Committee.
Organizing a secure platform to boost innovation and innovative inventions is one of IFIA’s most valuable roles. IFIA has always felt a gap between the investors interested in the invention ecosystem and the innovations that are looking to be commercialized. Therefore, the International Federation of Inventors’ Associations has started IFIA Innovation Standard, IIS, as its main project for 2022 to fill the aforesaid gap. Therefore, the innovators can assure investors, third-party companies, manufactures, and startups that they are investing in a potentially marketable innovation, and they can acknowledge the innovators easily. Moreover, the new “IFIA Innovation Standard” system is going to help many different inventors, innovators, companies, and startups promote their creations to the global market. Plus, by having IIS, IFIA would provide innovators with a unique certificate and a profile on IFIA’s website. So, whether your innovation is patentable or not, IFIA has set out this project to engage as many people as possible in the invention and innovation ecosystem. Therefore, a creative person, or the person who owns an innovative process, product, or place, can request to have this significant certificate.
