Times Editorial: Inventors, Chicago Southland is here to help

If there was a place you could take your idea for a new product or modifications to an existing product that improves its effectiveness, would you be interested in taking the next step? Let me introduce to a concept called the Maker Lab.

But that’s not all. Add access to engineering, legal, financial, and marketing expertise, and you begin to see the potential .
