May 2026
The third Global INTAN-Invest Conference – Better Data for Better Policy will take place on 7 & 8 May 2026, at Villa Blanc, Luiss Business School in Rome.
Co-organized by Luiss Business School & the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as a part of the Partnership on Intangible Assets in the Global Economy, the conference will present new evidence on intangible asset investments and emphasize the importance of improving data collection and measurement frameworks, fostering discussions on how data-driven policies can support innovation and sustainable growth. Although intangibles have a significant economic impact, traditional measurement frameworks have inadequately captured their size, composition and impact. There is a critical need for more comprehensive and up-to-date statistics on intangible investment to facilitate well-informed and evidence-based policymaking worldwide.
Launched in 2024 by Luiss Business School in partnership with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Global INTAN-Invest is a new international research infrastructure designed to provide unprecedented insight into the scale, composition, and dynamics of intangible investment across the global economy. Its findings, published annually in the World Intangible Investment Highlights (WIIH), show that intangible investment has grown more than three times faster than tangible investment since 2008, despite economic uncertainty. Intangible assets - including software and data, intellectual property, research and development, branding, design, and organizational capital - now account for a large and growing share of global GDP. With harmonized annual and quarterly data covering over 30 economies, Global INTAN-Invest supports timely, evidence-based research and policy analysis on productivity, innovation, digitalization, and economic transformation worldwide.
The 2-days event will feature thematic sessions, keynotes and a panel to explore various aspects of intangible assets, offering a comprehensive overview of trends, challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field.
The Global INTAN-Invest Conference offers a unique platform for bridging the gap between researchers, policymakers, and the business community, aiming to shape future economic strategies with better data on intangible assets.
