A non-profit global organization. In 2010, it was founded by Mr. Hsieh Hsin-Ming. For a decade, WIIPA has been using Taiwan as its headquarters.

Since 1993, Mr. Hsieh Hsin-Ming has formed the "Taiwan Invention Products Promotion Association (TIPPA)" with many friends from the Taiwanese invention community. He has led many Taiwanese brand groups to participate in international invention exhibitions, covering Southeast Asia and European countries. Successfully, he opened up a way for Taiwan's products to be in line with international standards, and also laid the foundation for the establishment of WIIPA.
In 2000, Mr. Hsieh Hsin-Ming felt that the main axis of TIPPA was limited to Taiwan. With a vision to gain access to the international stage, he dedicated his time and effort to gather transnational forces to put his vision to work.
Fueled with a vibrant ideology, he continued to open doors of opportunities for young and talented inventors to a global level and thrived on gaining international attention for the establishment of WIIPA as a multinational organization.
From 2018, the president of WIIPA has been succeeded by Ms. Manli Hsieh. She will provide WIIPA with a permanent base. In the future, the headquarters will be shared with partners from various member states as a place for negotiation and meetings. The space is bright and spacious, and the plan includes an office area, meeting rooms, a function room, and a studio for interviews and videography, with different functional parts suitable for a smooth flow of communication.
WIIPA upholds the spirit of globalization and extends its vision across the globe. With technology, using network interfaces allows a fluid communication pattern for a more innovative exchange of ideas and information among stakeholders. In addition to periodically holding activities such as international exhibitions and conferences, WIIPA will develop an invention seed teacher training program.
Through this program, we are confident that young and talented inventors will take root from the expertise of cross-disciplinary teachers, and nurture and explore the passion in their respective skills.
WIIPA member states span the continents, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Macao, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Vietnam, China, India and Thailand. Croatia, a founding member, is a significant bridge between the invention communities of Asia and Europe.
