The world today stands at the brink of a technological revolution. The way we work, learn or live is changing rapidly. The scale and complexity of the revolution will drastically change the way the world functions. It is, therefore, important that we adapt to this 4th industrial revolution to benefit us all.

Indian companies are increasingly adapting the use of disruptive technologies e.g. industrial robots, technology-based learning tools and Artificial Intelligence, showing that India is fast catching up with the fourth industrial revolution.

While WIPO has steadfastly endeavored to develop a productive international intellectual property (IP) system, the Indian Government has been taking initiatives to create IP awareness and an innovation culture in India.

The event will provide an insight on how the WIPO leadership and the Indian government interpret the role of IP in the evolving global order vis-a-vis the anticipated opportunities & challenges.
