Adastra IP was honoured to be invited as a panelist for this year’s IP Finance Dialogue in Geneva on 13th May, organised and hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Christine Ng represented the firm to speak in the panel on “The Value of Intangibles – the role of IP Valuation in IP Finance”.
WIPO Director General Mr. Daren Tang highlighted the rapid growth of intangible assets — now valued at $80 trillion globally — and the urgent need to align financial systems with this new economic reality. As countries and financial institutions increasingly adopt IP-backed financing, WIPO is working with various stakeholders to unlock the hidden value of intellectual property to support innovation and growth worldwide.
The event aimed to foster collaboration across policy, business, and finance to unlock opportunities for innovation, SME growth, and investment through better IP valuation and financing practices.
