Invented Here!
Celebrating New England’s Breakthrough Inventions and Inventors
Invented Here! honors New England’s newest and most innovative technologies. Through the program, the Museum hopes to encourage future generations of inventors and entrepreneurs by sharing ground-breaking technologies that shape the way people interact with each other and with the world around them, fulfill important individual and social needs in novel ways, or ensure a more sustainable future for humanity and the environment. In this way, Invented Here! plays an integral role in the Museum’s mission to transform the nation’s relationship with science and technology.
Invented Here! is presented in collaboration with the Boston Patent Law Association.
Honorees were selected from nominations submitted by corporations, law firms, research labs, and colleges and universities throughout New England.
