Singapore launches IP Competency Framework, ideas2IP

The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore has launched two nationwide initiatives namely the Intellectual Property Competency Framework and ideas2IP.

In addition, IPOS also announced the appointment of two home-grown music talents, Dick Lee and Tay Kewei, as Singapore's IP Ambassadors.

Director-General of IPOS, Liew Woon Yin said to stay competitive in today's globalised world, Singapore needs to compete not so much on costs and efficiency alone but more on ideas and innovation.

"IP is the means to that end. In conjunction with IPOS' 10th anniversary, we are very happy to launch the IPCF, which will propel IP manpower development in Singapore.

"As part of IPOS' continuous efforts to spur innovations, we are delighted to launch ideas2IP which will help bridge the gap between ideas creation and commercialisation," she said at the IPOS' 10th anniversary celebration here today.

The IP Competency Framework was developed by IPOS to raise the industry capabilities of IP professionals and practioners in the increasingly active IP industry.

The first of its kind in the world on a nationwide scale, the IPCF maps out the skill sets and competencies needed for IP practitioners, and set out suggested pathways to obtain them.

Meanwhile, ideas2IP is an online innovation platform designed to bring inventors and investors together to commercialise good ideas.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
