🌐✨ Great to see World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO’s strong participation at the BIP Asia Forum 2025, in Hong Kong 🇭🇰🇨🇳! Its presence reinforced the role of intellectual property as a driver of business growth, innovation, and international competitiveness. From high-level panel discussions to direct engagement with startups and brand owners, WIPO continued to showcase how its global services and expertise support businesses at every stage of their journey. As part of this effort, my division, the IP for Business Division, organized a "One Day IP Workshop" for Startups from the Greater Bay Area. Over two days, our two IP experts mentored 8 promising startups through personalized sessions, helping them navigate IP strategy, global protection options, and how to integrate IP into their growth plans from day one. Grateful to all partners, experts, and the WIPO team who contributed to this impactful mission!
