6 KEY THEMES

Dear Colleague,
I trust you have heard and are aware of the innovation
wave hitting Asia. Just earlier this year, the Prime Minister
of Singapore announced a S$19 billion plan to support
Singapores R&D efforts over the next five years with the
aim of transforming Singapore into a vibrant R&D hub that
thrives on innovation and enterprise.
The budget committed towards the Research Innovation
Enterprise 2020 Plan (RIE2020) is an 18 per cent jump
from RIE2015s S$16.1 billion and is the biggest budget to
date. That means we are venturing into areas of research
innovation that we have yet to explore and it is only through
translating research into solutions that we are able to
achieve breakthroughs in the field.

what works best in encouraging research innovation
within the team.
Artificial Intelligence
Understanding and utilising Machine Learning,

research projects. From making internal processes
more effective, corporate tax savings to getting
government funding, let Metlife and Edge Lab (Joint
collaboration by AIA and NTU) share advice on the
most effective practices to adopt for your own project.

Get advice from industry leaders on insights and strategies

to be at the forefront of the innovation wave. Furthermore,
network with experts in the region and get equipped with
the knowledge and skills to drive transformation and foster
innovation sustainability for long-term success.

Morning Refreshment and Registration

Workshop A: Understanding & Protecting IP to
maximise opportunities for your type of business

Join us to learn how you can get your ideas heard, agreed,
and enacted. Learn influencing strategies and how to create
a business case to gain the commitment of even the most
sceptical co-workers and partners.

l Intellectual Property (IP) Portfolio Management

and IP Intelligence

12:00

15:00

Workshop B: IP Blockchain & Patent Intelligence

to stay ahead of competition through strategic
information extraction

Conventional IP registration is either costly or non-existent.

It is conceivable that majority of the intellectual assets
creators do not seek formal IP registration due to costs
and procedural reasons. An innovation from the blockchain
technology known as IP Blockchain opens up the opportunity
for all creators to register their IP prior to subsequent
commercialisation.

RESEARCH
INNOVATION
ASIA 2016
Patents are seldom used as a source of information by
non-technical people, even if they offer information that can
be observed from a market perspective. Thus, explaining
how patents can be exploited with this aim, the workshop
focuses on the information that can be extracted from
patents and the implications and insight that they provide
about the competitive environment, if read with a strategic
eye. Recognising future technological trends and monitoring
competitors' activities is indispensable for maintaining
competitiveness in today's business.

In this workshop, you will learn about:

l IP Blockchain Use Cases - For IP Creators and Researchers

l IP Registration Inventions, Designs, Trademarks,

l Cyber Forensic and IP Blockchain

l Workshop: IP Registration and Verification

l Basic and advanced search strategy and execution

l Patent Intelligence What, Why, When, Which, Who,

l Case study & hands-on training in an advanced patent

l Workshop: Patent Mapping & Landscaping
