Project No. IPEG_01_2025S Project Title IP Finance Workshop Project Status Project in Implementation This project addresses the critical challenge faced by SMEs in APEC economies—limited access to credit due to a lack of tangible assets. By promoting IP Finance, the project enables SMEs to leverage intellectual property as collateral, improving financial inclusion and fostering innovation-driven growth. It includes two workshops: an online session in May 2025 on IP valuation methodologies, and an in-person workshop in August 2025 during the 61st IPEG meeting, covering legal, financial, and strategic aspects of IP Finance. At these workshops, IP policymakers will share best practices, address challenges, and develop actionable solutions for implementing IP Finance across member economies. This initiative, aligned with APEC’s Putrajaya Vision 2040 and IPEG’s strategic priorities, aims to build capacity and strengthen the innovation ecosystem by equipping policymakers with tools and knowledge to support SMEs in unlocking the value of their intangible assets. |
