Keynote Speaker Trevor Baylis, the inventor of the wind-up radio is visiting Brunel to share his experiences, creations and current business ventures along side other guest speakers, including rAndom Internation, which was founded by Brunel alumni design students.

Trevor invented the wind-up radio in response to the need to communicate information about AIDS to the people of Africa in 1991, since then he has given talks at many prestigious events, numerous tours, interviews and television appearances, and has been awarded many honours including the OBE in 1997, and eleven honorary degrees from UK universities (1998 to 2005) including the degree of Doctor of the University from the Open University in 2001 and an Honorary Doctorate from Brunel (1998).

Trevor has now set up Trevor Baylis Brands PLC which provides inventors with professional partnership and services to enable them to establish the originality of their ideas, to patent or otherwise protect them, and to get their products to market. Their primary goal is to secure license agreements for inventors, but they also consider starting up new companies around good ideas. So if you have an idea you are looking to take to market Trevor is the person to see, so jump on this opportunity! 

Entry to this event is open to all students.
