IED Best Practice encounters
Beyond the start-up: Is there a ’best way’ to scale up a venture?
Part 1: 24 Feb 2009, 16.30 to 18.00
The Promise of Intellectual Capital: creating financial value from IP
• Prof. Tom Hoehn – Imperial College Business School
• Donal O’Connell – Director IPR, Nokia
• Tony Hadjiloucas – Director Valuation and Strategy, PriceWaterhouse Coopers
Technology companies need to continually renew IP, but must also balance the considerable cost and time demanded to manage IP against expected value. How do companies pursue a strategy of innovation, IP creation and IP acquisition capable of creating tangible financial returns for the company and its shareholders? Donal O’Connell will discuss how Nokia has leveraged its intellectual capital to drive growth, while Tom Hoehn and Tony Hadjiloucas will discuss the valuation side of IP strategy. Audience comment and questions invited.
