International Business and Technology Service Corporation (IBTSC) is one of the first members of American Made Network who supports teams participating in American Made Challenges. IBTSC has an experienced R&D team, led by a scientist who is an IEEE Fellow and a Fellow for National Academy of Inventors. Our team is the only team that has experience as a winner for both an American Made Challenge participant and a connector for an American Made Challenge winner. The team supports inventors and R&D teams in various capacities throughout different stages of the challenge, including: proposal development, technology/prototype development and validation, test and characterization, coaching and mentoring, IP strategy and project management.
Specifically, for the American Made Challenge, the team in IBTSC at the first stage will:
1. Help the teams to develop and prepare a complete package to meet challenge requirements.
2. Provided critics and feedback from reviewer perspective, help to determine IP strategy and project plan.
3. Provide feedback about the technology under NDA, ensure protection of IP for participant teams.
4. Review and improve technical proposals, provide input for reviews.
After the first stage, the team will provide additional support, such as:
1. Provide expertise and platform on materials sciences, device prototype development, test and characterization.
2. IBTSC helps to form a US lead/based team to enable international scholars to participate in the challenges.
3. Help to establish strategic partners and collaborators.
4. Help to improve work plans and market strategy.
