From Innovation to Impact: IP Commercialisation in Healthcare and MedTech | Singapore IP Week 2026, 9 September 2026

It only takes a spark to get the conversation going and at IP Week 2026, that spark ignited a powerful dialogue on how IP licensing and having a multi-prong approach towards innovations in a connected ecosystem can accelerate commercialization in healthcare and medtech industries.

Highlights:

• That spark was carried forward by Dr Ken Simpson, with the concept that the unit of innovation in healthcare/medtech being increasingly a connected care system in an ecosystem, and sharing of insightful strategies for commercialization of such innovations.
• A dynamic panel featuring Ms Irene Cheong, Mr Alfred Kwek, Mr Suresh Sashi, and Prof Tan Sze Wee, moderated by Dr Wendy Leong, offered practical real-world insights from discovery to commercialisation, with value creation as the center.
• Engaged discussions during the Q&A reflected the attendees’ interest in being part of the conversation, reinforcing the power of partnership as a community in driving innovation to impact.
