Interview

In the occasion of the World IP Day 2023, we recently spoke with Catherine Heng Yee Huynh, a bi-cultural and enthusiastic Intellectual Property Law and Data Privacy lawyer based in Paris, France. She is the founding partner of the law firm CATHERINE HENG YEE HUYNH and has expertise in the protection of creations, especially in France, mainland China and Hong Kong. Catherine shared with us the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in the IP domain, including the fact that women are still underrepresented in the field.

In an interview with top economic French newspaper 'Les Echos', EC vice-president Margrethe Vestager mentions the EIC as a possible model for the implementation of the European Sovereignty Fund.

We discussed with Mathilde Kraft, project coordinator of West MOPoCo and French National Coordinator of the WestMED Initiative, on the main results, lessons learnt and follow-up activities planned.

We discuss with Massimo Caccia, responsible of Blue RoSES project, on how the WestMED Assistance Mechanism provided his organisation with support in the project development phase and beyond.

This month, we explore the story of Richard Hardimann, an EIC innovator, co-founder and CEO of Ranmarine, a Rotterdam-based start-up that developed the WasteShark – a water drone that can autonomously clean up ports and inland waters.
