The IP Business Congress Asia (IPBC Asia) is an event that addresses IP value creation
and is hosted by Intellectual Asset Management (IAM). The audience comprises of senior
decision makers from major IP-owning companies, as well as investors, aggregators and
intermediaries, and political, advisory and financial representatives. The IPBC Asia
programme focuses on how companies strategically use intellectual property to secure
greater operational flexibility, drive revenues, enhance bottom-line returns, increase
shareholder value and gain greater leverage in financial markets.
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Anurag Srivastava, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro
said, "Wipro has been recognized as one of the 48 companies in Asia and one of only two
Indian organizations that has consistently put intellectual property at the very heart of
corporate strategy. We will continue to drive this momentum around our Intellectual
Property, in line with our customers' changing business environment to ensure that they
are able to take advantage of any shift in their markets."
The IAM editorial team researched the Asia IP Elite intensively for two months from
both a qualitative and quantitative perspective to understand whether companies are
engaging in constructive and sustainable use of intellectual property. The research
focuses on how IP assets are being utilized and integrated into a company's overall
business strategy.
"Although Indian companies are beginning to acknowledge the importance of intellectual
property, Wipro is one of the two Indian companies that has been recognized as a leader in
this space and can compete on an international scale," according to the IAM Editorial
Team.
