A total of 30 companies will be selected to participate, receiving tailored support to enhance their IP management capabilities, particularly in an online setting. Participants will also receive guidance on formulating effective IP strategies that align with their business plans and intangible assets, ensuring they can protect and monetize their products in global markets.
