A group of prospective inventors will hear Tuesday from two men with ties to marketing and building start-up companies for the future.

The Catalyst program offers business services, executive office suites, conference space as well as lab facilities for science and innovation based ventures, officials said.
The meeting Tuesday will include dinner at 6 p.m., followed by an hour long question and answer session with Trotter and Rogers.

The Inventors Club of NE Arkansas was formed in 2014 as a cooperative effort by the A-State SBTDC and 3D Precision Enterprises, LLC to help inventors take their ideas from concept to commercialization.
Their resources include business consultants, CAD designers, engineers, manufacturers, patent attorneys and marketing groups.
The group is also building a network of experts to provide the capability inventors need to review, patent, design, manufacture, and market their ideas.
