The North Asian (China, Japan, and South Korea) tech innovation market is fast moving and diverse; the scale of which presents many challenges to kiwi companies perusing opportunities in it. As with in any market, technology innovation is risky, time consuming and costly. It requires businesses to find a balance between what they know, and what they can learn, and how they can protect what they have learned in the most cost-effective way possible.
TIN is excited to present the 'Opportunities in North Asia' workshop series once again, facilitated by the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence. Join us in Auckland for an interactive and informative workshop educating you on the North Asian innovation market.
What to expect?
These half-day courses provide insight into the North Asian market across two modules:
Innovation race in North Asia: The module will focus on strategies we can use to compete against local innovators. Unlike their Kiwi counterparts, Asian Technology firms take a fast follower approach rather than becoming an innovation leader. The session will focus on how to compete in such an environment.
- Hear how technology companies innovate.
- Gain insights on how to leverage ecosystems.
- The art of prudent innovation: learning from Asian competitors.
Protecting Innovation in North Asia: The protection of your Intellectual Property (IP) comes with challenges no matter the market. The North Asian market presents its own unique challenges to Kiwi innovators, as the regulatory framework differs from what we are used to here in Aotearoa.
- Gain insights into what issues your company might face around IP.
- Hear about tools that can use to better protect our IP.
