About the Fellowship of Inventors (FOI):

FOI was formed from a long-burning desire to drive the engine of local innovation and to encourage the culture of inventing.  The inception of FOI has been a long time coming for its president, Dr. Ting, who has always passionately sought everyone to tap into the oil fields of their minds.

FOI’s ultimate mission is to provide an active eco-system of invention, from the first step of idea conception, right down to commercialising the idea, which is then protected by robust IP strategies. Anyone from the age of 8 to 80 can be a member of FOI. True innovation does not discriminate;
it binds people and technology together.
