How can stronger IP in EU free-trade agreements boost productivity and economic growth in Europe?

How do IPRs in EU FTAs support EU strategic resilience and global competitiveness in a post-COVID world? What are the concrete benefits of robust IPRs for EU member states? How important is IP for innovation, in particular for the green and digital societal transformations? Why should IPRs be given a more prominent role in EU policy-making, especially when it comes to EU FTAs? These are some of the questions that guest speakers will address during a panel discussion, following presentation of an ECIPE report.
