PREREQUISITES

Participants must ideally have at least 2 years of work experience in financial services or foundational finance industry knowledge.

Overview

As Singapore accelerates its Digital Economy ambitions, organisations are increasingly creating value through digital technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data, software, digital platforms and other intangible assets rather than traditional physical assets.

Across the Industry Transformation Maps (ITMs), the ability to identify, manage, protect and commercialise these digital assets has become a critical capability for finance and business professionals supporting innovation, digital transformation and sustainable growth.

This two-day course equips participants with the knowledge to understand how intangible assets and Intellectual Property (IP) drive enterprise value in today's digital economy. Participants will explore how AI, data and emerging digital technologies are transforming the creation, ownership, protection, valuation and governance of intangible assets, while examining the legal, ethical and commercial implications of AI-generated content and digital innovations.

Through practical case studies and real-world examples, participants will gain insights into managing digital and intangible assets across their lifecycle, understand key valuation and disclosure principles, and appreciate how robust governance of these assets supports investment decisions, innovation strategies and long-term organisational competitiveness.
