IP Opportunities for Food Companies, Entrepreneurs
posted on June 7, 2009
Are you looking for new technologies, an answer to a product or process development challenge, or a new platform for business growth? Then make plans to attend IPEx. New this year at the IFT Annual Meeting, IP Exchange (IPEx) is a business partnering event on Sunday, June 7, 4 pm – 6 pm in Ballroom A. IPEx is designed to connect those currently holding intellectual property (IP) rights, such as patents, with those who are looking to purchase or license IP. Many universities, companies, and entrepreneurs have IP that they are interested in selling and/or licensing to others. Conversely, many companies and entrepreneurs are seeking new technologies or processes, in the form of IP, to purchase or license. IFT is in a unique position within the food industry to provide a forum for connecting these two groups of individuals. The goal of IPEx is to offer proprietary technology (may be intellectual asset, intellectual capital, or intellectual property) for sale or license. Attendance at this informal networking session is open to all fully registered attendees.
Here are some of the confirmed property holder participants:
- General Mills World Wide Innovation Network
