Innovation Certifications

Innovation requires precise understanding of value - the who, what, when, where, how and why of the customer's need. It then means getting that value to them without complexity creeping in.

International Association of TRIZ (MATRIZ) has been founded with the objective of activating the creative potential of an individual, who is capable of self-development in harmony with himself and the surrounding world. It aims at further development and application of TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), as well as other approaches to creative problem solving, in various fields of human activity.

QAI Global Institute has founded the TRIZ Association of Asia and is authorized by MATRIZ to award the International certifications.
