We strive to help industry making better strategic decisions about their IP for more effective IP and innovation management.  

We engage with industry through a variety of means. Already during our research we actively collaborate with industry for developing evidence-based tools for better strategic IP management, such as our Cambridge IP roadmapping approach. These interactions often happen in form of workshops.

Our IP interest group (IPIG) provides a platform for senior managers from selected companies to engage in regular peer to peer discussions. Occasionally we also run IP management events, such as short practicioner conference called Strategic IP Forum.

In addition, we work with industry and other organisations through consultancy projects typically via IfM ECS.
