About

The Inventors Center of Kansas City is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing inventors and product developers networks, resources and tools to develop ideas into viable products. ICKC helps first-time inventors bring their ideas to fruition, serving as a source of education and a guide to entrepreneurial success. 

 

The organization provides a learning forum for inventor/entrepreneurs and those in allied fields. We help guide inventors through the idea development process from validation, evaluation, competitive analysis, business planning, funding, prototyping, patenting, marketing, distribution and licensing. 

 

Our country’s most valuable resources are: 

  • new inventions 
  • new technology 
  • the unique individuals that create them 

 

Meetups are held the third Tuesday of each month, with attendance of 60 to 80 people, and the organization boasts a large member base throughout the region.
