In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026 (#IWD2026) with its Give to Gain Campaign, WIPO Singapore Office together with IPOS Society and Licensing Executive Society (LES) Singapore is proud to jointly launch The SG IP Community Career Mentorship Program.
The Mentorship That Moves the IP Community Forward
Give To Gain is a worldwide call to support the advancement for all women, in this case for our IP Community by sharing knowledge and encouragement from those that have gone down the path before you. The program is designed to support women and their allies whether you are in your early career, mid-career, attorney or non-attorney working in the IP field.
Participants from Singapore will not only benefit from local mentorship, but also from connectivity to both international and local platforms through WIPO, LES International Women-In-Licensing-Alliance and IPOS Society Network, creating opportunities for cross border perspective, dialogue, and professional growth.
We are looking for curious and passionate mentees seeking advice and experience to navigate your personal and professional development from global and experienced IP leaders. We welcome interest from both female IP professionals and their supportive male allies!
Who can be mentor? People like you!
Individuals or IP seniors who are passionate and open minded to share your expertise and support, improve interpersonal and leadership qualities, reinforce your knowledge and skills and grow your network!
The SG IP Community Career Mentorship Program will be conducted over a 4 month period (Apr to Aug 2026).
Selected mentors and mentees and their pairings will be notified by an email confirmation by 25th April 2026. Paired mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet up at least twice during the mentorship period.
We wish everyone a wonderful International Women’s Day 2026!
