Welcome to the Idaho Idea Market
Where Idaho Inventors Show Their Stuff

I think I have a great idea!!

Really? How good is it? And how much is it worth?

The Idaho Idea Market lists ideas from Idaho inventors who took the time and effort needed to complete a Merwyn Business Translation/Simulation and list their ideas in the National Innovation Marketplace.  The Merwyn Research Report answers two important questions:

1. How good is the idea?
   
2. How much money could it make?

Completing Merwyn and listing an idea in the National Innovation Marketplace provides additional benefits:

• Acts as a multiple listing service for ideas (similar to a Real Estate MLS)
• Provides an idea description that a 12 year old could understand in under 60 seconds
• Provides an estimate of the time and money needed to take the idea to market
• Lists the pedigree and patents of the idea inventor
• Provides links to photos and videos that help clarify the concept
• Gives an estimate of a fair market royalty fee to the inventor

The ultimate goal of the NIM is to create connections - between inventors, manufacturers, investors, researchers, economic development folks, distributors and more.
