Birmingham Inventors was established on September 11th 1984 and has been helping inventors and innovators for nearly forty years continuously since then even during COVID when we had Zoom meetings. Our members include very experienced sales executives, medical, and technical experts with decades of experience in government and privately funded research and development from concept to marketing.
We aim to facilitate problem solving.
Meetings give members a chance to present their ideas and have them discussed. This gives valuable feedback on the prospective success or failure of an idea, suggestions for modification and improvement, possible contacts and suggestions on further help.
Please see also our page, History of Birmingham Inventors, link above, we aim to continue the tradition!
You do not have to be an inventor to attend a meeting. Perhaps you have a problem looking for a solution, we might be able to help, we like problems which could be hiding an opportunity!
