About

Foundation for Innovative Research, Sustainable Technologies and Intellectual Property (FIRSTIP) is a charitable and non-profit organization registered in India in the year 2010 for promoting innovation, sustainable technologies and intellectual property. FIRSTIP provides a forum to inventors and other creative persons to conceptualize and materialize their innovative ideas. We provide information of the latest technologies to the innovators to guide them in their research. We also assist them in protecting their intellectual property rights in India and other parts of the world.

FIRSTIP aims to develop a scientific and innovative acumen among the public at large. Our aim is also to create awareness among the public with respect to the importance of traditional knowledge and biodiversity, eco-friendly technologies and intellectual property in the present scenario. Hence, we offer customized training programmes, lectures, workshops and seminars to stakeholders including inventors, students and public at large. We encourage grass root inventions.

FIRSTIP aims to provide platform to develop technologies that are in tune with the environment. We believe that protection of environment is as important as developing new technologies. FIRSTIP is also developing a database of the traditional knowledge in order to protect and utilize the knowledge that has been achieved by the mankind over the years and is not lost forever.
