Creates the Largest

Virtual Worldwide

Ecosystem for Startups

The International Federation of Inventors’ Associations -

IFIA, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and repre-
sented in more than 70 countries, starts the year 2023

with a disruptive innovation. This innovation consists of the creation of
the Department of Startups, a sector of the
IFIA that will be responsible for preparing,
carrying out, and monitoring actions in dif-
ferent countries of the world and whose
main objective is to help Startups to con-
nect with each other and with potential in-
vestors and commercial partners in addition
to strengthening relationships with Inventors
and Academic Researchers.
This Department will benefit academic re-
searchers who find it difficult to transform
their research results into market-successful
solutions.
With the connection with Startups or through
training that will be offered to transform
these projects into Startups, the process will
be facilitated.
For groups of angel investors and Venture
Capitals, approaching this Department will
result in great advantages as they will have
access to a portfolio of Startups from dif-
ferent countries where they will find the best
investment opportunities.
