“Antiques Roadshow” for Inventions June 9 at Hyatt Regency Philadelphia features
Doug Hall from ABC TV's American Inventor
The national tour of the PlanetEureka.com Innovation Roadshow stops in Philadelphia on June 9, providing a one-day workshop for local inventors to find out the fair market price for their ideas. Innovation guru Doug Hall teaches entrepreneurs how to translate their idea or technology into a customer focused product or service description that can be easily understood by a businessperson who doesn’t have technical or scientific training. The inventor can then list their idea, compliments of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NSIT/MEP), in the USA National Innovation Marketplace and receive a fact-based innovation research report and sales forecast. The report answers the age old question, “What's my idea worth?”
The USA National Innovation Marketplace, a program from the Department of Commerce NIST/MEP, gives American inventors a fair shot—enhancing their credibility by providing a fact-based innovation research report and sales forecast that investors can understand. For buyers or investors, the Marketplace provides a virtual R&D resource that can triple innovation success rates and speed to market. The Marketplace uses an open innovation strategy, which involves partnering, licensing, and co-developing innovations with partners outside of a company instead of traditional, internal research and development. It connects innovation sellers, buyers, investors and distributors in all industries through a three-pronged approach: 1) Translation Training; 2) Valuation Forecasting; 3) Access to Buyers, Investors & Distributors.

Doug Hall, the “Truth Teller” Judge on the first season of ABC TV's American Inventor, is the founder and CEO of Eureka! Ranch and Merwyn Research Inc., a market research company that provides innovation sales forecasts and publishes the PlanetEureka.com network of international innovation marketplaces. The Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) is a program of the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). MEP is a national network of affiliated manufacturing extension centers and field offices located throughout all fifty States and Puerto Rico.
