Innovationedge client Inventor receives award for klenzpod™
Remember my post last month about one of my inventor clients, Mick Gordon? He is back in the news again, and I couldn’t be more pleased! Mick is a very prolific innovator–he is passionate about his inventions.
We’ve been helping him in the development of KlenzPod™ which recently won the inaugural Innovation Award at the annual World of Wipes (WOW 2008) Conference. Mick was honored for his innovative approach and elegant solution to the lack of efficient wet wipe disposal facilities on the market.
The KlenzPod system was developed for offices and public buildings to provide employees and customers easy access to single wet wipes. Mick’s invention was inspired by his experience with his dying father in a British hospital where he saw poor hygiene being practiced, and realized that medical staff really needed some easily-available wipes to keep their hands clean.
It has taken years of development. Mick refined the invention based on feedback from other experts and corporations, but numerous innovations have now come together to provide a really useful, economical, and aesthetically-pleasing solution that can be used almost anywhere.
Way to go, Mick!


Scientists in the U.K. are taking the first steps in a project to create the first real-life Transformers - those toys that can change shape from, say a car, into a robot. The project has echoes of last year’s Transformers film about alien robots that disguise themselves as cars, motorbikes and lorries to wage war on each other.
I promised to update you on Innovationedge’s collaboration with Russia’s International Science and Technology Center (ISTC). As you know, we
