In an era where innovation and creativity drive economic growth, safeguarding intellectual property becomes paramount for fostering healthy and sustainable business collaborations between nations. India and France have long-standing ties in culture, diplomacy, trade, and commerce. Both countries recognize IP’s pivotal role in fostering innovation, protecting creative endeavors, and driving economic growth. By protecting IP, we pave the way for collaboration and partnerships that fuel growth and prosperity.

In conclusion, the workshop facilitated an understanding of the IPR landscape in Europe and India and the strategies to protect one’s business interests.
