NCP-IP World IP Day Event 2024

Innovation drivers in the life science industry: How can artificial intelligence, collaborative formats and standardisation drive the exploitation of knowledge?

The life science sector has always been a pioneer when it comes to protecting innovations and the optimal utilisation of knowledge, compliance with standards and the successful transfer of research results to the market. Advanced framework conditions such as artificial intelligence and machine learning open up new opportunities for the industry, but also present it with challenges, some of which are still unknown. The involvement of new (collaborative) partners in life science research could also have a lasting impact on the industry.

Above all, the new EU recommendations for better valorisation of knowledge and their implementation in the national context will have a significant influence on the exploitation of innovations and their protection, far beyond the life science industry.

How do I protect my innovations against the backdrop of a changing economic and regulatory environment in order to optimise the social and economic benefits of the acquired knowledge? How do I set up successful collaborations in the life science sector on an equal footing? What role does standardisation play in the life science innovation chain?

In several keynote speeches and a panel discussion, we will address these topics in another edition of the NCP-IP World IP Day event.

This will be followed by an opportunity for personal dialogue.

We look forward to your participation!
