What Are We Working On?

Educational Certification Course

NEI is developing a 12-part course covering each step of the product commercialization lifecycle. Some of the topics include intellectual property protection, product pitch, funding, prototyping, marketing and PR, licensing, manufacturing, and retails sales.

The certification course is designed to offer an immersive learning experience for students by incorporating video interviews with various subject matter experts as well as real-life tasks that simulate practical scenarios such as obtaining a business loan.

This course will launch September 2024.

Product Workshop Course

NEI is developing a two-day workshop where participants will work in teams to solve everyday problems with a new consumer product concept.

By the end of the workshop, participants not only will have learned about the process of product ideation, but also product manufacturability and marketability.

The product workshop will launch Summer 2024.
