How can intellectual property become a real growth driver for your company? In this special Thursday Gathering, prepared together with our partner Patent Berlin, we dive into the strategic role of patents, trademarks, and designs in building long-term business value for tech-driven companies. Through a concise introductory talk on “Building Business Value Through IP Strategy”, followed by fast-paced lightning sessions on patent, trademark, and design protection, you’ll gain practical insights you can apply directly to your venture. The evening also offers 1:1 consultations with IP experts, giving founders and innovators the opportunity to discuss their specific challenges and opportunities.
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.

Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Grab a drink, enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
This session provides a practical overview of how startups and scaleups can use intellectual property as a strategic business tool rather than a purely legal function. It explores how patents, trademarks, and designs can support growth, investment readiness, and partnerships.
The talk covers how to identify protectable innovations, how to build and structure an IP portfolio over time, and why freedom-to-operate assessments are essential before market entry or scaling. It also touches on current patent trends in key technology sectors and shows how IP can be used to reduce risk, strengthen cooperation with partners, and increase overall company value. The focus is on actionable insights that help technology-driven companies align their IP activities with business strategy and long-term objectives.
