Inngot CEO Martin Brassell to speak at WIPO next conference on IP-based finance

Martin Brassell, Inngot’s CEO and co-founder, will be speaking at the World Intellectual Property Organization’s (WIPO) next event in its IP Finance conference series on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.

The first WIPO conference in the UN body’s IP finance initiative was its High-level Conversation on Unlocking Intangible Asset Finance, at which Martin Brassell was a key speaker (See picture - credit WIPO/Berrod)

There have been a number of events since, as well as a series of reports on the state of IP finance in various countries around the world, including the UK. Martin Brassell edited the UK report titled, Unlocking IP-Backed Financing Series: Country Perspectives The United Kingdom’s Journey, working with WIPO and the UK Intellectual Property Office.

The latest conference, titled IP Finance Dialogue: Expanding Horizons on IP Finance and Valuation, will be hybrid, with an in person and online audience, as with previous events. Further information on the agenda and how to book to attend either physically or virtually can be found on the WIPO site here: WIPO booking page.

Martin Brassell will be on the first panel of the day, Panel I: Perspectives on Best Practices Supporting IP Finance, which immediately follows the Keynote speech from WIPO’s Director General, Daren Tang.

This panel will address key enablers for developing effective IP finance ecosystems, with a focus on valuation standards, investment criteria, and policy instruments that enhance the reliability and scalability of IP-backed financing.

This year’s theme for the IP Finance Dialogue series event is The Value of Intangible Assets. The program includes the presentation of findings from international work on intangibles valuation and finance, as well as a range of panel discussions.

It will feature a presentation of the work and preliminary findings of WIPO experts on a study on financial reporting and disclosure on intangibles and explore how this can build trust with lenders and investors.

In addition, the event will also spotlight perspectives from the financial community and IP finance in the music sector, to resonate with the theme of this year’s World International Property Day which took place on April 25th.

Discussions will be held in English, with simultaneous interpretation into Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish.
