KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
“The increasing importance of public Intellectual Property support for SMEs and Startups”
SMEs provide the majority of employment and value-add in modern economies and innovative SMEs that own their intellectual property contribute disproportionately more to the wider economy. Already governments and regional authorities, like the EU commission, commit significant public resources to support these companies to conduct research, development and innovation. However the IP activity of these firms remains relatively low. This presentation will cover the emerging trend to provide public IP supports, to complement RD&I investments, to help these companies to use IP to grow their businesses and maximise the return to the economy and society.
