The summit was split into two parts, starting with a full day IP Commercialisation Workshop delivered by our strategic partners Mathys & Squire Consulting Ltd on the 22nd of March 2022. This workshop was aimed at In-House and IP Owners. This was followed by an interactive IP and R&D Conference on the 23rd of March, consisting of two streams of discussions looking at the most contemporary trends in the world of innovation. The conference was held in the heart of Dublin at the Convention Centre.

From a Pawn to a King using IP! Why IP strategy is key in taking your business to the next level.
