On one side, research, technology, startups and industry. On the other, film, music, games, publishing and design. They rarely sit at the same table. IP is the vocabulary they already share.
IP connects ideas to markets, research to industry, and creativity to economic value.
IPistanbul is an umbrella platform for the people who create, protect, finance and commercialize ideas. It meets in person once a year, and works as a bridge the rest of the time.
Three days in Istanbul with two complementary tracks: country focus sessions, data-driven talks, industry case studies, expert workshops, matchmaking and receptions.
Rights organisations, universities, law firms, platforms and agencies in one network, with Europe and Türkiye connected first.
Built for practical collaboration: licensing, technology transfer, co-production and investment that start as a conversation here.
One city sits between two continents, two economies and a very large audience.

The platform is still being built, and the people who join early decide what it talks about. Answer three questions.
