SUMMARY:Great Falls Region SBDC : Think Like an Inventor
DESCRIPTION: Think Like An Inventor \nJoin us as we explore how thinking like an inventor can support you in running a more effective and efficient business. Special guest\, Arnold Volker is a lifelong inventor and manufacturing entrepreneur who has fostered innovation in others for over three decades. As owner of Next Innovations\, Arnold has transformed the American manufacturing company from generic consumer décor to an industry leader in metal art and specialty coating. Under his leadership\, Next Innovations serves clients from local businesses to The Walt Disney Company. The company originally sat alone on a 54-acre plot\, but Arnold’s passion for collaboration and innovation has inspired other companies to settle down nearby. Arnold transformed the space into a multi-revenue property with other manufacturers\, co-working spaces\, and even a U-Haul dealership. \n\nThursday\, June 5\, 2025\n11:00 – 11:30 AM (MDT)\nVirtual\nFree
