Innovative Global Solutions formed in the Fall of 2015, replacing the former International Business Ventures (IBV) enterprise. Some of our past projects include a Mobile Clinic, which was implemented in Ghana, as well as an Infant Heart Enunciator. Our first project as the IGS enterprise was a continuation of the IBV ventilator which took first place at Michigan Tech’s 2015 Design Expo. Recently, the team designed a Vaccine Cold Transport Device (VCT) for delivering vaccinations to the developing world.  This project received an honorable mention at the 2019 Design Expo and went on to received third place overall as well as third place for the innovation award at the 2020 Design Expo.
