Are you getting revenue from your IP?

Every business owns intellectual property. The question is: what is it worth, and how do you generate cash from it?

This BEN networking event will explore the area of building value for a business and increasing income through leveraging IP.

There will be time for networking with fellow businesspeople, and one-to-one consultations with experts in the field.

We will be joined by three highly-qualified speakers.
