Coller IP Management at International Intellectual Assets Conference

The 3rd Congress of the Intellectual Assets Centre combined its highly successful business facing conference with the international renowned IFKAD for the very first time in Glasgow on the 17th and 18th of February 2009.

This unique event gave delegates the unprecedented opportunity to hear and interact with international and national speakers and delegates from both business and academics on the topic of Innovation.

The event offered a highly focussed programme of sessions, designed to address the topics of real importance to both company and economic development in these challenging times – as well as the opportunity to attend any of the IFKAD sessions which are of professional interest.

The event featured cutting edge speakers such as Debra Amidon, Chair and CEO of Entovation International and Jackie Maguire, CEO Coller IP Management.

The Congress also ran masterclass workshops on the topics which really matter to today’s business economy such as how to use effective intellectual assets management to win business through procurement; links between university IP and research; and how to manage intangible assets in a recession.

At the same time, IFKAD gave a wide range of academic sessions from international speakers, all contributing to cutting edge debate on the field of knowledge capture. Contributions from international experts Leif Edvinsson, Goran Roos and JC Spender, as well as from Rob Huggins from the University of Cardiff, have already been confirmed in keynote slots.
