Merry Christmas

As another eventful year comes to a close, we would like to extend our best wishes for a happy holiday season in one last poem (an original).

In a world full of noise, there’s one signal that’s clear,

It’s the relationships we build that bring our lives cheer.

So, let’s count all our blessings as families draw near,

For only together do life’s true gifts appear.

A Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year!

Our partners at Konsert – Intellectual Property Challenges in the Sustainability Transition

Watch our partners at Konsert outlining the challenges IP managers face in the sustainability transition. As the societal need for rapid diffusion and scaling of green innovation continues to increase, IP has a critical role to play to:

  • support collaborative development of sustainability innovations;
  • support setup and governance of sustainability-focused business ecosystems; and
  • enable new green business models

To take on this role, IP departments must find ways to evolve their capabilities in relation to both IP strategy and operations. At the top of the list: achieving a close integration of IP into the business-strategic dialogue.

Watch Filippa Plate and Jonas Lindgren at Konsert talk about it here.
