Just Released: Whitepaper on “Impact Licensing as a Strategic Instrument for Impact Investment”
On 23 January 2025, during the European IP Helpdesk Annual Stakeholder Event in Brussels, Impact Licensing Initiative launched its taskforce whitepaper “Impact Licensing as a Strategic Instrument for Impact Investment.” The taskforce members Christian Polman (Chair), Pieter Lievens, Jennifer Marzullo and Johan Moyersoen convened last year to consult with numerous international stakeholders in intellectual property and impact investing to investigate the key advantages of impact licensing and how it can accelerate societal and environmental impact and attract new capital into the sector.
This whitepaper covers:
- What is an impact license
- How impact licensing can benefit technology owners and other stakeholders
- How impact licensing supports sustainable development goals by opening more opportunities and lowering barriers for those opportunities to get funded
With this whitepaper, the ILI team aims to start a broader discussion on how to implement impact licensing and roll out this new model for impact creation at scale. We look forward to connecting with the curious and the willing to take this forward.
Please reach out to us with ideas and feedback on the concepts and how to drive education, awareness and adoption and if you are a technology owner or an investor wanting to explore impact licensing.
Read the Whitepaper.
