In recent years, India has emerged as a key market for EU technology startups and SMEs seeking international growth. With its rapidly expanding digital infrastructure, a large and growing population, a vibrant startup ecosystem, and ambitious government initiatives such as Make in India and Startup India, the country offers significant potential for innovation, investment, and cross-border collaboration.
However, entering this dynamic market also presents challenges—especially in the realm of Intellectual Property (IP). From safeguarding patents and trademarks to navigating local legal frameworks, understanding IP in the Indian context is essential for long-term business success.
To support European SMEs and startups on this path, the India IP SME Helpdesk in collaboration with the University of Maribor is organising an informative online session that will explore both business opportunities and the strategic value of IP protection in India.
