We are excited to share the remarkable journey and achievements of our Ideas Powered for business (IPFB) Network in 2023, raising awareness about intellectual property (IP) throughout the EU and beyond.
The IPFB Network now comprises 21 member European associations spanning diverse sectors. These include innovation, accounting, business angels, crowdfunding, start-ups, and business associations. Our primary goal is to raise awareness on the importance of IP within the business ecosystem and elevate awareness among small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Together, as you can see in the infographic above, we have done various tailored activities including events, training sessions, webinars, and podcasts. We have also facilitated over 260 activities in 2023 alone, with nearly 12 000 participants joining. These efforts have fostered a deeper understanding of IP among our members and their respective SME communities.
