About the Webinar on Intellectual Property Essentials
The EU Digital SME Alliance invites you to participate in its upcoming IPowerSMEs webinar Series titled "Intellectual Property Essentials: Strategies for Business Growth and Innovation." Intellectual Property (IP) plays a pivotal role in fostering competitiveness, driving innovation, and fuelling growth within enterprises. Crafting a robust IP strategy is integral to leveraging these benefits effectively. IP assets within a company serve as catalysts for value creation, facilitating the introduction of novel or enhanced products, services, processes, and business models. They also enhance eligibility for research and development funding, foster collaborations, and elevate the financial standing of the organization.
In this webinar, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will gain insights into developing tailored IP strategies tailored to their unique requirements, particularly during the crucial phases of business development.
