The direction of innovation: Insights from the World IP Report 2022
Dr. Intan Hamdan-Livramento, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Geneva, Switzerland
Intan Hamdan-Livramento will present the latest World Intellectual Property Report 2022, an in-depth analysis of the direction of innovation and how it impacts economies and societies around the world.
The report examines the combination, or sum, of all the decisions individuals, firms, universities and governments make on which technological opportunities to pursue. It discusses the main factors that govern the direction of innovation and how public and private motivations can be leveraged effectively for solving global challenges. This investigation provides valuable insights into the future trajectory of technology to inform innovation strategies in different industries, and policy interventions to shape the direction of those efforts.
