Feel the beat of IP on 26 April, World IP Day!
Music connects all across cultures, and intellectual property (IP) is key to protecting every element that makes up a song. By safeguarding the work of lyricists, composers, producers, performers, and more, our local music scene can flourish into a vibrant community.
In collaboration with our partners, we're shining the spotlight on our local music creators to showcase their IP journeys in the local and global music scene.

World IP Day 2025 Address
By Mr Lawrence Wong
Prime Minister and Minister for Finance
