Workshop on the Role of Intellectual Property in Sustainable Innovation and Economic Growth

The nexus between IP and sustainable innovation is of paramount importance in driving productivity-led growth. The emphasis on innovation ecosystems, as highlighted in the APO Vision 2025, underscores the critical importance of this synergy. As a cornerstone, IP facilitates the equitable sharing and protection of knowledge, thereby fostering economic advances. Robust IP frameworks not only incentivize innovation but also contribute to job creation, socioeconomic progress, and innovation capacity. Through mechanisms such as exclusive-use provisions, IP encourages investment in innovation, thereby stimulating productivity growth. Recognizing the intricate role of IP is essential to address contemporary challenges and unlock the full potential of innovation to drive sustainable economic expansion.

This workshop will enable participants to effectively navigate the IP landscape and maximize its potential impact on the productivity and socioeconomic development of APO members.
