MIM Kyiv Business School and the Ukrainian National Office of Intellectual Property and Innovation (IP Office) have signed a memorandum of cooperation to promote innovation and business education in Ukraine. The collaboration will focus on developing educational programs that enhance competencies in intellectual property and technological innovation. It will also involve organizing conferences, training sessions, and forums designed for the business community and researchers, as well as strengthening connections between businesses, the state, and educational institutions to ensure the effective integration of innovations into the real economy.

Olena Orliuk, Head of the IP Office, emphasized that modern businesses cannot succeed without a clear understanding of the strategic importance of intellectual property and the ability to effectively utilize innovative assets. She noted that MIM Business School plays a key role in preparing top managers who can integrate intellectual property management into business strategy, strengthening Ukraine’s position in the global innovation economy. She stressed that this partnership will help create an environment where entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators gain the knowledge needed to protect and commercialize their developments effectively.

Iryna Tykhomyrova, President of MIM Business School, highlighted that MIM Business School is more than an educational institution—it is a platform for meaningful dialogue between business, government, and civil society. She emphasized that education, science, and public administration must work together to create a strong ecosystem for technological development, startup growth, and investment attraction. She noted that this collaboration is an important step toward Ukraine’s innovative recovery, ensuring that intellectual property and innovation become key drivers of economic progress.

This partnership is a crucial step toward ensuring that Ukrainian businesses are equipped not only to survive but to thrive in an era defined by rapid innovation and intellectual property-driven competition.
