Connecting Inventors to Startups Ecosystem to create successful, innovative, and profitable
Businesses!
The IFIA’s Startups Department is an IFIA initiative that aims to help Inventors to have the
possibility to both, create a Startup from his/her invention or connect with one to create
synergy and improve the chances to sell, license, or be a CEO or partner of a Startup
and, in this way, make the journey to take his/her invention to the market easier, to be
successful and make profits.
No doubt this initiative will be one of the most innovative and disruptive in the IFIA’s his-
tory.
The creation of this Department was only possible through the innovative vision of the
members of the IFIA Executive Committee and the full support of the President Mr. Alireza
Rastegar, who’s defined this matter as a priority.
The Board of Experts of the IFIA Startups Department is complemented by Anand Kanand,
manager of the IFIA office in India, and Mariangela Lückman, Director of events and edu-
cation at ABIPIR and manager of the Latin American Office at IFIA-ABIPIR.
