Helping Inventors & Entrepreneurs through Education, Engagement and Empowerment Who We Are The Inventors Network Kentucky, which includes the Inventors Council Central KY, is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to providing educational resources and support to inventors, entrepreneurs and others involved in innovation and business throughout the state. The Inventors Network is more than just an inventor organization, it is a comprehensive group of programs designed to empower the inventor, entrepreneur or entre-inventor with the education, direction, skills and access to resources needed to help move them in a direction in line with productive and ultimately successful activities. Where We’ve Been Since 1996, we have been the go-to organization for helping inventors and entrepreneurs, with referrals from private and governmental agencies across Kentucky. One of the ways we do this is by holding 2 very different meetings each month. Our 1st meeting is free and open to the public, and features speakers on various topics of the different parts of the inventing process. Our 2nd meeting is very different - what we call our Workshop - is a brain-storming session where members have an opportunity to discuss and receive input on where they are, where they’re stuck, and where to go from here. In 2004 we created the state’s first annual convention for inventors, which has now grown to the largest Inventor/Entrepreneur event of it’s kind in the Midwest. Inventor-Con now draws nationally known speakers, as well as exhibitors and attendees from all over the country. Where We’re Going 2016 is a pivotal year for our organization. As the Inventors Network Kentucky, Inc, we are branching out to locations across the state. We are updating our educational programs to include a structured process that tackles many of the historical stumbling blocks that plague independent inventors & entrepreneurs. Many of these programs include print, digital, video and hands-on methods.
