Background

In today’s knowledge-driven economy, Intellectual Property (IP) and design have become powerful engines of innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable economic growth. Beyond legal protection, IP serves as a strategic business and economic asset that drives investment, strengthens market positioning, and enables commercialization. Design complements this by transforming ideas into human-centred, scalable, and market-ready solutions, accelerating adoption and creating real-world impact.

As India’s innovation ecosystem expands through stronger R&D, startup growth, industry–academia collaboration, and progressive policy reforms, the integration of design and IP is increasingly critical to unlocking economic value. The World Design & Intellectual Property Conference 2026 brings together global leaders and stakeholders to explore how this convergence can power innovation ecosystems, strengthen industrial competitiveness, and contribute meaningfully to innovation-led economic growth.
