About the event

After a hugely successful 1 day 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, and proud to be partnering again 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 Big Corporates.

​

The summit starts with a full day IP Commercialisation Workshop delivered by our strategic partners Coller IP on the 6th of July, followed by an interactive IP and R&D conference on the 7th of July, consisting of two streams of discussions looking at the most contemporary trends in the world of innovation.

​

During the main conference day, the two streams share the stage, and a common networking and exhibition space where innovation professionals will interact and exchange experiences across those two interconnected verticals in the economy of innovation.
