Transforming ideas into

SHARED VALUE

At IP for Impact, we help organizations turn their knowledge, know-how and technology into purposeful assets that deliver greater impact, generate new revenue, and build long-term organizational resilience. Working at the crossroads of technology, intellectual property, and positive societal change, we guide our clients in creating integrated IP and shared value strategies that align mission with market opportunity.

Our interventions do not require any prior commitment to models like impact licensing or social venture building.

Our work unfolds in two interlinked phases:

1. IP Strategy Development

We start by mapping your needs and uncovering your hidden assets. By understanding your objectives and organizing your knowledge, know-how, and technology, we create a clear and actionable intellectual property (IP) strategy. This process gives you greater clarity and confidence in ownership and assets, while revealing the true value of what you already hold.

2. Shared Value Creation Strategy

Building on the IP strategy, we then co-develop a shared value creation strategy where purpose and profit work hand in hand. Together, we explore opportunities such as securing IP rights (e.g. through patenting), licensing those rights, forming strategic partnerships, and social venture development—always grounded in your mission and the realities of your market.

This integrated approach not only safeguards and positions your innovations but also lays the groundwork for collaborative growth, long-term impact, and a more resilient organization. This will prepare you better for strategic partnerships and cross-sector collaboration.

To achieve this, we can work closely with the Impact Licensing Initiative and the Impact Licensing Studio, drawing on deep expertise in frugal innovation, legal design, and systems change—particularly in global and underserved markets.
