IP Monitor extends its warmest wishes to all innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, creators, startups, SMEs, universities, intellectual property professionals, policymakers, and everyone interested in intellectual property rights and their vital role in shaping our shared future.

The start of a new year is an opportunity to reflect on the ideas that inspired us, the collaborations that strengthened us, and the innovations that moved society forward. Intellectual property remains at the heart of this progress—transforming creativity into tangible value, enabling knowledge transfer, supporting responsible investment, and encouraging solutions to global challenges.

In 2026, we look forward to continuing to highlight stories of ingenuity, promote awareness of IP as a strategic tool for growth, and foster dialogue between science, business, and society. By protecting ideas while encouraging their responsible use, we aim to support and raise awareness of an ecosystem where innovation thrives, competition is fair, and sustainable development is within reach.

May the year ahead bring bold thinking, successful partnerships, and new breakthroughs that benefit both the economy and the wider community.

Here’s to a year of creativity, collaboration, and impact.
