Connecting the worlds of Business, IP and R&D in 2021!
We are BACK for Dublin IP and R&D Summit – 6th and 7th December 2021
After a hugely successful launch event in 2019, the Dublin IP and R&D Summit 2.0 has now grown to become a 2-day Intellectual Property and R&D Conference and Expo. For the 2nd edition running, we are partnering with Headline Sponsor Enterprise Ireland, the government body responsible for innovation in the region, with 3,500+ strong membership of IP owners including Start ups, SMEs and Corporates. While 2020/21 has put us all on a little hold, we are now ready to relaunch and bring you the summit refreshed and reloaded! Mark your diaries, we are excited to announce that the new date for the launch of Dublin IP and R&D Summit 2.0 is drumroll please… 6th and 7th December 2021! Everything you need to know will be below, but head to the website to learn more!
The summit is split into two parts, starting with a full day IP Commercialisation Workshop delivered by our strategic partners Mathys & Squire LLP on the 6th December 2021. This workshop is aimed at In-House and IP Owners. We will discuss topics such as the best practices in shielding hard and soft IP, and the importance of dialogue and practices between R&D and IP teams for consistent business growth. This is followed by an interactive IP and R&D conference on the 7th of December consisting of two streams of discussions looking at the most contemporary trends in the world of innovation.
