For more details on the tools and proposals of the IP Office regarding new business opportunities, please refer to the presentation.

 

As Anastasia Yarmoliuk noted, UANIPIO is actively working to develop a comprehensive architecture of services in the field of IP and innovation for business:

 

“Through the National IP&Innovations Hub, the TISC network, as well as the Lab2Market UA and GrantWay entrepreneur support programs and other initiatives, we help entrepreneurs receive qualified support, attract funding and bring innovative products to market faster. It is essential for us that entrepreneurs, universities, and communities perceive intellectual property as a comprehensible system with clear rules, transparent processes, and predictable results.

 

We place a special emphasis on the regional dimension and the involvement of new groups of entrepreneurs, in particular women entrepreneurs, creative industries, etc. Through guides, checklists, training programs, and mentoring, we promote the integration of intellectual property into daily management decisions and growth strategies.

 

Ultimately, we are talking about the formation of a sustainable innovation ecosystem, where the registration of IP rights and their commercialization are viewed as a single cycle, and intellectual property functions as a real resource for economic development.”

 

Oleksandr Hryhorenko, in his turn, noted:

 

“UANIPIO and IP&I Hub, as its component, ensure cooperation with the security and defense sector of Ukraine on issues of promoting the development of intellectual property rights in the activities of relevant government agencies, their R&D organizations, as well as Military-industrial complex in the public and private sectors of the economy. Currently, joint work is underway to develop new approaches and policies on the management and effective legal protection of intellectual property in the field of defense technologies.”
