Iprova Collaborates with Microsoft for data-driven Invention Summit at IMD Business School

As AI reshapes global innovation, Iprova is collaborating with Microsoft again to lead the charge in data-driven invention. Following the success of last year’s inaugural summit, the two organisations are hosting an exclusive one-day event on the 10^th September 2025 at the world-renowned IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. Together with Microsoft, Iprova will showcase some of its latest Agentic AI-based technologies and unveil a new, ground-breaking integrated human-agent workflow product set for launch later in 2025.

The invitation-only event brings together senior leaders from enterprise Research and Development (R&D), Intellectual Property and innovation to explore the latest developments in data-driven invention creation. Through hands-on sessions with the latest agentic AI tools, expert insights and collaborative discussions, attendees gain invaluable strategic insights to enhance their invention workflows and drive real-world impact.  

Innovation leaders in enterprises are under increasing pressure to deliver breakthroughs faster while managing costs. The demand for robust, data-driven invention creation has never been more urgent.

The adoption of AI in R&D continues to accelerate. According to the 2025 International Innovation Barometer (IIB), 75% of businesses are integrating AI into their R&D processes, revolutionising data analysis, predictive analytics, and more. In this shifting landscape, staying ahead means embracing the latest AI-powered methodologies.

Founder and CEO at Iprova, Julian Nolan said, “As the world speeds up, the ability to efficiently and collaboratively create high-value inventions in direct and real-time response to global change is becoming a fundamental requirement. Our event is designed to provide a buyer’s guide to the tools, insights and partnerships they need to thrive in this new era of AI-assisted invention.”

Raya Volinsky, Global Director AI Business Solutions, Microsoft commented, “Our collaboration with Iprova exemplifies Microsoft’s commitment to driving innovation through trusted and scalable AI and cloud technologies. By building on Microsoft Azure and using the Microsoft Commercial Marketplaces, Iprova enables their customers’ enterprise R&D and innovation teams unlock the full potential of AI to accelerate invention and achieve breakthrough outcomes with real-world impact.”

The event will feature live demonstrations of AI-assisted invention tools, an exclusive look into the daily workflows of an AI-assisted inventor, and case studies highlighting breakthrough invention strategies from leading enterprises. Participants will also take part in collaborative sessions on invention workflows and value creation, culminating in insightful network opportunities with industry pioneers.

Attendees will hear from thought leaders who will unpack the science behind invention, share market trends, and offer guidance on navigating the evolving AI and innovation landscape.
