What’s better than sliced bread?

Maybe it’s time to upgrade this saying; I’m not sure that sliced bread is the best-invention-ever anymore.  Do you have the next big invention or idea?  Want to see if it’s worthwhile to try and market?  Or perhaps you want to explore better ways of reaching your market and commercializing your product or service.  Register now for Profit 101:Commercializing Great Ideas – a half-day seminar focused on generating or refining innovations, products or services.  The workshop is part of New Vision’s Technology Roadmap initiative (TRI), to help inventors, entrepreneurs and established businesses commercialize bright ideas.

The Roadmap is designed to help inventors, entrepreneurs and established businesses get their bright  ideas, new product lines and inventions in the ‘fast lane’ to commercialization.  We are working with Impact Washington to help people evaluate and commercialize their bright ideas.  The first part of this initiative is for everyone that is interested in launching their inventions or product ideas – Yakima County inventors and entrepreneurs with innovative new products or inventions that are close to market-ready or past the ‘idea’ stage and existing businesses that want to expand or diversify products or areas.  We will then take applications from interested parties and a panel of judges will select up to five individuals or teams for in-depth assistance.

Profit 101:Commercializing Great Ideas will be held on Wednesday, April 28th from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Cost is $30, which includes lunch.  Registration deadline is this FRIDAY, APRIL 23rd!
