About this event
In Partnership With HGF Limited
In the fast-moving world of alternative proteins, innovation means little without protection. This must-attend webinar will give you the tools to navigate intellectual property (IP) with confidence – and show you what investors really want to see before they back your breakthrough.
Whether you’re developing a novel ingredient, scaling up a new process, or building strategic partnerships, understanding how to safeguard your technology could make the difference between attracting capital or being left behind.
Join us to learn:
- Strategic IP protection: How to identify and secure your most valuable inventions – from patents to trade secrets and everything in between
- Scalability considerations: How your IP strategy should evolve as your company grows and moves from R&D to commercial production
- Collaboration & partnerships: How to protect your IP when working with external partners, investors, or manufacturers
- What investors look for: Insights into how strong IP foundations can unlock funding opportunities and long-term growth
Hear from Kerry Rees and Andrew Tindall, patent attorneys at HGF Limited, and other industry experts, as they share practical advice and real-world examples of how IP has shaped the success of companies across the alt-protein sector. They’ll also discuss how founders and inventors can think about IP from the start – not as a legal checkbox, but as a strategic asset that drives value.
This is a free-to-attend webinar. Attendees can hear from industry experts and interact through a Q&A session.
