· Law & IP Firms expand business opportunities through global networking and tailored clinics.

· Investors & Innovators connect via the GIPC Innovation Exchange.

What to expect in 2026:

· Global General Counsel and IP leaders in dialogue with Indian industry.

· Advisory-driven Clinics for startups and MSMEs.

· Roundtables and matchmaking connecting investors, innovators, and corporates.

· Multi-track agenda across patents, trademarks, tech transfer, digital IP, and commercialisation.
