WIPO-Luiss Business School Partnership on Intangible Assets in the Global Economy

This partnership aims to produce up-to-date statistics on global investment in intangible assets, expanding the coverage to middle-income economies such as India and Brazil. The results are released annually through the World Intangible Investment Highlights report. This publication offers up-to-date, cross-country measures of global investment in intangible assets (such as research and development, software, data, brands, design, and organizational capital), representing a significant advancement for evidence-based policymaking.

Highlights of the conference

Conference highlights include opening remarks by Paolo Boccardelli (Rector, Luiss University) and Raffaele Oriani (Dean, Luiss Business School) well as a special address by the Guest of Honour Pier Carlo Padoan (UniCredit). The conference features keynote speeches by renowned experts, including Jonathan Haskel (Imperial College London) on AI-powered innovation and growth through intangible assets, and Thomas Philippon (NYU Stern) on the relationship between intangibles, firm dynamics, and market power.

Key discussion topics include new evidence from middle-income economies such as India and Brazil, the role of artificial intelligence and data in augmenting intangible investment, and the broader implications of intangible capital for productivity, growth, and competition policy.

Additionally, an industry roundtable will bring together leaders from Pirelli, Moncler, Danieli, and Brand Finance to explore strategies for unlocking the potential of intangible investment.

WIPO is grateful for the participation of its steering committee of international institutions committed to advancing understanding of intangible assets, including the African Union (AUDA-NEPAD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and the World Bank.
