This episode explores how IP rights can transform intangible assets (from technologies to trade marks and designs) into valuable financial instruments that support business growth and competitiveness. The discussion brings together two complementary perspectives: Michal Kazimierczak, EUIPO expert working on IP valuation and IP- backed finance, and Nicolas Konialidis, specialist in corporate finance and business valuation. Together, they examine how innovation and finance can be better connected in Europe.
