VIRTUAL PRESENTATION: IP & Innovation: Encouraging Adoption of Emerging Technologies

Talk:

• Protecting and promoting innovation is complex, costly, and misaligned with the needs of those that are at the source of innovation, small and medium enterprises (SMEs). 
• Companies that have the potential to disrupt are getting left behind because they do not have the resources to innovate. 
• Patents fuel innovation by allowing SMEs to build upon technologies and be at the forefront of technological advancement. 
• IPwe aims to balance the interest of technology innovators and users to promote innovation, adoption, and commercial development through its shared ‘pools’ of innovation called Smart Pools.
