The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) is a member organization of U.S. and international universities, and governmental and non-profit research institutes, with 4,000+ inventor members and Fellows from over 250 institutions worldwide.

Join us for the launch of The Inland Empire Chapter of NAI, hosted by UC Riverside. Membership is available to any invetor that holds one or more issued U.S. patents and allows them to:

· Join a community of inventors and be recognized

· Network with fellow inventors and innovators from the region

· Be a part of the innovation ecosystem in the Inland Empire

· Access valuable national NAI resources

We look forward to seeing you at the event to celebrate our local invetors and innovation in our region!
