About 30,000 organisations will benefit from the Intellectual Capital Management Consultancy Programme which offers free consultancy services to help enterprises cultivate and manage their intangible assets.

Launching the programme today Under Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So said intellectual capital management is an effective tool for value creation with minimum financial investment.

"We warmly welcome enterprises in Hong Kong to take advantage of this programme so they can maximise their business potential and gain a competitive edge in the knowledge economy."

Under the programme an intellectual capital management consultant will visit the office of a participating enterprise twice to help them identify their intellectual assets and make plans for exploiting their assets in a well-organised manner.

The programme's first phase is open for application until September 30. Participating enterprises will receive a free set of training materials and a certificate to recognise their participation. Click here for more details.
