The we_they (Singapore) is a national initiative dedicated to the deepening and broadening of Singapore's knowledge and capabilities in Intellectual Property (IP) protection, exploitation and management.

Given the value and importance of intellectual assets and creativity as primary sources of wealth and competitive advantage, the we_they aims to build a thriving culture that encourages the management and harnessing of innovation, and the resultant IP rights for the achievement of success in this global knowledge-driven economy. 

The we_they's roles include building capacity for the growth of the IP services industry, undertaking multi-disciplinary IP research that will help in policy and decision making, as well as organising IP thought leadership activities through conferences and roundtables positioning Singapore as an IP hub.
