We are unveiling our list of event partners and sponsors for our returning IP conference series, Dublin IP and R&D Summit 2.0!
With just two months to go, Cosmonauts is excited to be returning internationally to host the Irish iteration of our Intellectual Property conference, Dublin IP and R&D Summit (DIPS) 2.0! The two-day conference focuses on the two interconnected streams of IP and R&D, through a number of intriguing panel discussions and presentations.
DIPS is packed with a noteworthy lineup of both well-established and high-growth IP firms and companies. We’d like to showcase a couple of our sponsors to highlight, and you can check out the full list of sponsors through the button below.
