Greetings from Singapore. On 29 Aug 2017, IPOS and Deloitte South East Asia Financial Advisory Services (Deloitte) signed a Memorandum of Understanding at IP Week @ SG 2017 to deepen cooperation to drive the growth of innovative enterprises. In line with Singapore's Committee of Future Economy (CFE) report where it has identified innovation as a key economic driver for the nation, this cooperation is IPOS' ongoing effort as an innovation agency to build a vibrant and globally-connected innovation ecosystem and strengthen enterprises' competitive edge with strategic use of their IP.
Separately, six local enterprises were awarded the prestigious WIPO-IPOS IP Awards at the IP Week @ SG 2017 event. They were recognised for the outstanding achievements where they have successfully grown their businesses through effective use of IP as well as strategic management of their intangible assets.
