Jargon buster cuts through the ATEX jungle
ABB has published an "ATEX jargon buster" that helps motor users cut through the jungle of terms and definitions that make up the new ATEX Directives.
Her workshop will be held at venues throughout the UK during April and May.
The primary focus of the workshop is to give would-be inventors an important knowledge and skills boost when they start their invention business.
Angela said "A lot of people and companies excel at solving problems and creating new inventions, but lack the knowledge and skills to take their invention through to market.
"I know the process can seem quite daunting but I want to see many more lone inventors and small businesses making a success of their inventions.
"Creating a workshop to provide key guidance through the pitfalls in this process has long been a dream of mine, so I'm delighted it is finally underway".
Angela is contacted daily by people looking for practical advice on turning inventions into successful businesses.
She regularly gives guidance on topics such as protecting an idea, obtaining funding and turning an idea into a product.
Angela admits there is a steep learning curve and mistakes can be expensive and time consuming.
She continues "I created the workshops based on the theme "I wish someone had done that for me!" My aim is to equip inventors with the essential tools that will help them through each stage of the invention process.
"It is a very exciting and rewarding experience".
The Inventor Workshops will be held throughout the country during April and May.
