#Singapore is building business ecosystems that combine talent, R&D, tech and factories of the future – check out Jurong Innovation District (JID), a leading advanced manufacturing hub for #Asia. At JID, small local firms and large MNCs can collaborate easily with research institutions and tech providers to drive innovation and boost their competitiveness. Hear from Japanese machine tools manufacturer Makino, which launched an Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in JID. By plugging into the ecosystem, Makino shaved off at least a year of research time and saved nearly a million dollars from investing in specialised machinery, says William Goh, Head of Additive Manufacturing, Makino Asia Group.   More than 100 players in the advanced manufacturing value chain are sited in JID, and it is set to expand by the end of this year. New investments in Industry 4.0 activities are expected to create some 95,000 new jobs in advanced manufacturing, innovation and research. Watch this CNA video to find out more. JTC Corporation

Earlier today, the World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO released its report around intangible asset investment, “World Intangible Investment Highlights” https://bit.ly/4ceakgB. Their research, the first of its kind, has revealed that investment in intangible assets (including #brands, #designs, #data and #software) has “grown three times faster over the past 15 years than investment in physical assets like factories and machinery.” #Sweden along with the US and France saw the most activity. Sweden has consistently been highly ranked in WIPO’s sister publication the Global Innovation Index and this new research demonstrates how deeply the innovation culture is woven into the fabric of the country. With three offices in the innovation centres of Sweden, Rouse is well-placed to help businesses maximise the value of their #intellectualproperty and #intangibleassets within Sweden, across Europe and beyond.

Excited to share a recent meeting with Mr. Cong-Thang HUYNH EMBA, CEO of Innolab Asia! 🤝(Special thanks to Kyu Hwang Yeon, K-ICT Global Mentor, for facilitating this valuable connection) As the CEO of INDIP, I'm always thrilled to connect with innovators. Our discussion highlighted the growing importance of IP in developing industries, particularly in emerging markets like Vietnam. It's fascinating to see how countries like China have shifted from a passive stance on IP protection to a proactive one. This trend underscores the critical role of IP in economic growth and innovation. Looking forward to exploring how we can expand IP legal services between Korea and Vietnam. The future of cross-border IP collaboration is bright! #IPLaw #LegalTech #InternationalCollaboration #Innovation #Vietnam #Korea
