But building great products alone isn’t enough – you have to secure your competitive advantage to win over investors and open doors to new markets.

Given the industry’s sensitivity and its constant need for reliable solutions, he always gets asked by investors and potential partners whether his startup owns the rights to its tech – either through ownership or exclusive licensing.(From left) Fu Zhikang, director and senior IP strategist at IPOS International, Nicole Poon, chief HR officer at MatchMove, Remi Choong, principal at Elev8.vc, and Tan Jian Ming, co-founder of Moon Technologies. / Photo credit: IPOS International“Having IP protection is an incredible credibility driver,” he said
