PROMOTING TECHNOLOGY
In addition to current news and reports, the IPA web site provides a shop window for each Member to illustrate products and services in their particular market sectors. Members’ products and capabilities are promoted by IPA participation in exhibitions, conferences and trade missions. Wherever possible, the IPA assists entry of new technology into the commercial market.
FEEDBACK
The IPA is a collaborative organisation and members’ views and feedback are important. The annual Strategy Workout provides one such opportunity for Members to share their thoughts on IPA services and strategies. Individual visits to Members’ premises are encouraged so that membership benefits can be maximised and we best meet your needs from the Association.
