Truly a proud and meaningful moment for us at Adastra IP. โจ
When we first started speaking about IP financing several years ago, intellectual property was still largely viewed as a legal or compliance matter โ not something financial institutions would seriously recognise as an asset for financing.
Today, seeing the first financing facility approved under the WIPOโMIDF IP Financing Pilot Programme is especially meaningful for us because we understand how much work, collaboration, education, and industry engagement took place behind the scenes to make this possible. ๐ค
Adastra IP has been deeply involved in this journey from the early stages โ from working with World Intellectual Property Organization to drive awareness and industry discussions around IP finance in Malaysia, engaging with banks and financial institutions to encourage participation in the WIPO Pilot Programme, to supporting MIDF on the practical implementation of the initiative. Together with Inngot Ltd (UK), we also supported the development of the IP assessment and valuation framework used to facilitate financing against intellectual property assets.
We are grateful for the support and vision shown by MIDFโs management and board, especially Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahman and CEO En. Azizi Mustafa, for taking the bold step to pioneer this initiative in Malaysia. We also extend our appreciation to WIPO, under the leadership of Director General Daren Tang and team, for its continued efforts in advancing IP finance globally and within ASEAN; Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) for its important role as the IP regulator, including the development of the security interest framework; and SME Corp. Malaysia for supporting the funding allocation under the programme. ๐
For us, this is more than just a successful financing case.
It is a strong signal that Malaysia is moving towards recognising innovation, technology, and intangible assets as genuine business assets capable of supporting growth and improving access to capital. ๐
There is still a long journey ahead, but this marks an important beginning, and we are grateful to play a part in helping build this ecosystem.๐ก
