As Singapore prepares to assume the ASEAN Chairmanship next year, we remain committed to working closely with our ASEAN partners to strengthen regional Intellectual Property (IP) cooperation.

A robust innovation and IP ecosystem will be key to ASEAN's economic future — enabling the region to transform ideas and creativity into growth and opportunities.

Organised by Intellectual Property Office of Singapore, the 79th ASEAN Working Group on Intellectual Property Cooperation (AWGIPC) Meeting convenes regional IP leaders and international partners in Singapore this week to discuss the growing intangible economy and the role of IP in driving tangible progress.
