Panel 1: Global Trends in Intellectual Property, Finance, and Intangible Asset Value

Intangible assets now represent the majority of enterprise value across many sectors. This panel will explore global developments in IP valuation, commercialization, and financial reporting, examining how investors, corporations, and policymakers increasingly view intellectual property as a strategic business asset.

Moderator:

• Maria González Gordon, Founding Partner at González Gordon & Gómez-Barreda (Spain)

Panel 2: From Start-Up to Scale-Up: Using IP to Access Investment and Growth Capital

For many high-growth companies, intellectual property becomes increasingly important as they move from early-stage financing to larger institutional investment. This panel examines how founders, investors, venture capital firms, lenders, and advisers evaluate IP during different stages of growth and how Spanish start-ups can position their intangible assets to attract capital.

Panel 3: Making IP Matter—Communicating Value and Impact to the C-Suite  

One of the greatest challenges facing organizations is not only creating intellectual property, but also effectively communicating its value both inside and outside the organization. This panel will examine how companies can convey the strategic importance of IP and intangible assets to investors, boards of directors, lenders, executives, and other key stakeholders, while also influencing consumer perception and reinforcing brand value. Through practical examples, speakers will explore how effective IP communication can support business objectives, build trust, strengthen customer loyalty, and demonstrate the broader impact of innovation on organizational success.

Moderator:
