Intellectual property for deep-tech businesses
Intellectual property (IP) plays a crucial role in turning innovative ideas into successful technology companies. This online training provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as deep tech startups and university spin-offs, with practical knowledge on how to leverage IP for business growth and informed decisions. Participants will learn how to identify and manage IP assets effectively to ensure they support their business objectives as part of an IP strategy.
While members of the target audience are beneficiaries of EIC funding, technology transfer offices, business decision-makers, and IP professionals in SMEs, the event is open to a wider audience with a keen interest in how to leverage IP for business growth.
