The Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) has been recognised jointly by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as Hong Kong’s first hosting institution of Technology and Innovation Support Centre (TISC), known as the Hong Kong Technology and Innovation Support Centre (HKTISC).

Under a dedicated programme of the WIPO Development Agenda, TISCs are established to support researchers and innovators at different stages of the innovation cycle by providing them with consultation services on a wide range of information in areas including patent search analysis, IP management and commercialisation, thereby helping them to stay well-informed industry dynamics and new technology information and guiding them in bringing technology to market.

HKTISC will focus on providing local start-ups and small and medium enterprises with high-quality IP (especially patents) information and services to assist them in exploring their innovation potential and creating, protecting, managing and commercialising their IPs, with a view to protecting research and development outcomes and promoting IP trading.
