Objectives: Intellectual assets such as R&D, human capital, intellectual property, software and organisational capabilities and procedures, brands and reputation play an increasingly important role in value creation and contribute significantly to improve the economic performance of firms, research organisations, public sector bodies and countries. The aim of the conference will be to better understand how value is created in the knowledge economy and explore ways to improve reporting on value creation from intellectual assets. Experts and business practitioners will exchange information on best practices, identify the ways in which firms and other organisations are harnessing intellectual assets for performance in the knowledge-based economy, and draw implications for policy makers.
