The National Innovation Agency (NIA), in partnership with the Department of Intellectual Property and WIPO, organized the 'IP Management Clinic 2026' in Chiang Mai from February 24-27. This initiative provided free, one-on-one consultations with international experts to enhance the intellectual property management capabilities of Northern Thai SMEs and startups.

This program is crucial for enabling Thai businesses to strategically leverage their intangible assets, such as brands and technologies, for sustainable growth and expansion into international markets. It underscores Thailand's commitment to fostering innovation and global competitiveness among its small and medium enterprises.
