Synopsis

Government and Businesses alike are increasingly leveraging intellectual property (IP) as a strategic tool to advance critical Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IP, encompassing patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and other intangible assets, plays a pivotal role in driving innovation, fostering economic growth, and addressing global sustainability challenges.

In this session, esteemed speakers from diverse sectors will share practical experiences on utilizing IP and in relation to the SDGs. This event is co-organised by the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) and the Japan Patent Office (JPO) in close cooperation with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), will take the stage to highlight their respective initiatives and programmes aimed at aligning IP strategies with the SDGs, demonstrating the commitment of national IP offices to support sustainable development efforts.

A leading FoodTech company and a prestigious university will showcase their sustainable business practices and impactful research initiatives. In addition, a Singapore-based company will unveil an innovative AI-driven patent analysis tool. This tool provides in-depth insights into the intersection of IP, Green Transformation, and SDGs.

Join us as we explore how IP strategies can catalyse green transformation and drive meaningful contributions in achieving UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
