As European companies deepen their cooperation with Singapore and the broader Asian market, understanding how to protect intellectual property and ensure AI compliance across jurisdictions is becoming a strategic necessity. To support this process, Best Practices for IP Protection & AI Compliance - For Southeast European Companies Working with Singapore will take place online on 17 February 2026, from 11:00 to 12:00 EET (10:00–11:00 CET).

The webinar is designed to help SMEs, technology companies, legal teams, and business leaders build a solid framework for managing IP rights and AI-related risks when operating between Southeast Europe and Singapore.

Participants will gain practical insights into:

• Effective strategies for protecting intellectual property in cross-border business settings
• Key IP ownership challenges related to AI tools and AI-generated outputs
• How to approach AI regulatory compliance in both Southeast Europe and Singapore
• Major IP infringement risks arising from the use and development of AI systems
• Opportunities for monetising AI-related IP assets
• Available legal remedies in cases of misuse of AI-generated results
• The role of cooperation with industry bodies to strengthen IP enforcement

The main speaker will be Elio De Tullio, an IP and technology legal expert with around 25 years of experience advising large companies, SMEs, and universities on protection and exploitation of intellectual property at national and international level. He is the managing partner of De Tullio & Partners, an IP tech-law firm based in Italy, and a frequent speaker on the intersection of AI and intellectual property.
