IP is rapidly becoming the defining metric of enterprise value and national economic power. As Indian companies scale globally, the ability to create, protect, and commercialise IP is no longer optional — it is strategic.

ABOUT THE SUMMIT
From Make in India to Own in India
India’s patent filings have surged — yet the economic value captured from those filings remains thin. The next leap in India’s growth story is not just about manufacturing capacity, but about who owns the technology, the design, and the brand.

The India IP Advantage Summit 2026, organised by the Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) — India’s apex trade promotion body under the Foreign Trade Policy, notified by the Department of Commerce — brings together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, legal experts, and creative economy professionals to ask a single, urgent question: is India’s IP infrastructure moving fast enough to match its innovation ambitions?

From pharmaceuticals and deep tech to digital platforms, entertainment, and AI — intellectual property is rapidly becoming the defining metric of enterprise value and national economic power. As Indian companies scale globally, the ability to create, protect, commercialise, and defend IP is no longer optional. It is strategic.

The summit examines enforcement, commercialisation, AI-era authorship, IP-backed financing, and the ownership crisis in India’s creative and knowledge economy. It is a forum for those who build, protect, and monetise intellectual assets — and for those who set the policy conditions that determine whether India captures the value it creates.

OBJECTIVES
What the Summit Focuses On

■
Position IP as a core business and national economic asset
Move India’s IP conversation from filing volumes to value capture, commercialisation, and economic impact.

■
Bridge policy and practice
Enable direct dialogue between policymakers, legal experts, and industry on enforcement gaps and reform priorities.

■
Unlock IP as a commercial asset

■

■
Strengthen innovation-led export competitiveness
Connect startups, MSMEs, and enterprises with IP strategy that drives export advantage.

Build a sustained IP leadership community of innovators, creators, legal minds, investors, and policymakers.
