More than 31 776 thousand European small and medium-sized enterprises applied to the Ideas Powered for business #SMEFund in 2024. As this year’s Fund closes for applications, the number of applicants indicates a heightened awareness and interest in IP rights! Interestingly, 76% of these applicants were first-time participants in the fund, reflecting a growing interest in intellectual property (IP) among newer businesses. If you run a small business and are looking to start – or expand – your IP portfolio, stay tuned for the SME Fund’s next call for applications, coming up in February 2025!
