SUMMARY:Leveraging IP to Compete in Cleantech
DESCRIPTION:This event is hosted by Innovation Asset Collective\, a partner of AccelerateIP.\nOver the past 20 years\, Canadian patents owned by foreign firms have tripled. Meanwhile\, the role of IP assets in Canada’s economy has been diminishing since 2000. \nThe implications of these trends are significant. \nWith more foreign ownership of locally invented patents\, Canadian businesses may have limited opportunities to benefit from their innovations. \nTo reverse this trend\, Innovation Asset Collective (IAC) has partnered with national and local organizations. IAC aims to provide companies like yours with necessary resources to use your IP to source capital and to access and compete in a market more effectively. \n\nDate: Tues. Feb. 6\, 2024 \nLocation: Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre \n\nWhat to Expect\nAs a leader in clean tech\, your work is pivotal in shaping Canada’s sustainable future. IAC curated the day to address the specific challenges you face: \nReal Success Stories: Hear how other BC-based clean tech companies are using their IP as a business tool to compete in global markets while mitigating risks. \nBuild a holistic IP strategy: IAC’s world-leading IP experts will help you build an IP strategy that takes your technology to a global stage\, attract investors who share your vision\, and confidently advance your business while shielding your technology from outside threats. \nApproaches to financing: Learn about BDC’s IP-backed financing\, a solution that recognizes the value of your IP strategy to raise capital to support your commercialization and expansion. \nNetwork with peers and experts: Get access to a powerful network of local and national IP experts and clean tech industry leaders. \nRegister Here
