How should a company protect its ideas, expertise and intellectual assets?
What funding opportunities are available for business development and R&D activities?
Where can companies find practical support for growth and the development of new solutions?

This afternoon event takes a practical, business-oriented look at intellectual assets, intellectual property rights (IPR) and different funding opportunities available to companies. You will also learn about the expert support and services available in the region to help businesses grow and develop.

Participants will also have the opportunity to receive one-to-one IPR and funding advice. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

The event is aimed particularly at SMEs in the Salo region that already use, or would like to make use of, location data in their operations. However, all companies interested in intellectual property, funding and business development are welcome. The event offers practical insights, new perspectives and opportunities to network with other companies and experts.

Please note that the event will be held in Finnish. The event is organised by Location Innovation Hub, Intellisys Oy, the University of Turku and Lounaistieto in cooperation with Yrityssalo.
