We would like to thank all the participants for a successful CIP Roundtable 2024, in particular, our speakers Jonas Lindgren and William Mansfield for leading the discussion on IP & Sustainability and Andrew Gaule, Jard van Ingen, and Edward Bray for showing us the state-of-the-art in GenAI applied to business, technology, and IP management. We will have follow-up posts on each of their contributions shortly. Sustainability and GenAI will be the core themes that define the development of CIP activities into 2025, which will mark our 25th anniversary.

We were also happy to welcome the master’s students participating in ICM Advice and the ICM Certificate Program to meet and share their future plans with our CIP partners and advisors. With the pandemic and the changes to the ICM education, we have missed the strong interaction between the students and CIP activities in recent years, so we were excited to be able to gather everyone together this year!

Finally, we discussed CIP’s plans to grow globally through collaboration with new university and industry partners worldwide, building on our close partnership with UC-Berkeley in the U.S.
