WIPO Scale Up Your IP Program for Deep-Tech Ventures
The Scale Up Your IP Program is designed to help early-stage innovators, researchers, university spin-offs and deep-tech ventures integrate intellectual property (IP) into their commercialization strategies.
Most universities and R&D centers produce breakthrough innovations on a daily basis, but intellectual property commercialization remains difficult. Unlike traditional startups, deep-tech companies operate in a highly complex landscape made of long R&D cycles, high capital requirements, and intricate IP considerations. Their intangible assets are the core of their market potential, often involving multiple inventors and collaborators in complex innovation ecosystems. Managing these assets effectively at an early stage is critical to securing a competitive edge and unlocking commercialization opportunities that will accelerate growth.
Top reasons for joining the Scale Up your IP program
- To bridge the gap from lab to market, Scale Up Your IP offers R&D-intensive innovators actionable IP commercialization training, cost-effective legal insights, and practical tools to align IP with their commercial strategy, helping them bring technologies to market and scale effectively.
- By partnering with university accelerators, incubators, and other key R&D intensive stakeholders, this program complements existing offerings with IP commercialization content customized for local needs, helping innovators to better leverage IP in their go-to-market process.
