In recognition of World Intellectual Property (IP) Day, we are looking back at a few key highlights from Aon’s IP Solutions throughout the past year:

• Aon was named to Fast Company’s annual list of the Most Innovative Companies for our innovative approach to value and protect intangible assets through IP-backed lending, which creates access to non-dilutive growth financing for IP-rich companies.
• An article published by Techonomy looked at the momentum beyond Aon’s innovative IP-backed lending approach. According to Lewis Lee, Aon’s CEO of IP Solutions, “If data is the new oil, IP is the new gold.” Aon’s solution, which is “developing the ability to measure IP at scale,” helps clients maximize the value of their intellectual property and access capital for future growth.  
• As a tangible example of the momentum behind Aon’s industry leading efforts, several IP-rich growth companies have shared their success in raising funds with this approach, including Indigo Ag, Entrinsic bioscience, Shavelogic, CHASM, LiquiGlide and GRUBBRR.
