GAMIC 2026-2027 Webinar Series

Sterne Kessler’s Rob Sterne and Sal Bezos will be presenting a three-part webinar series hosted by GAMIC, focusing on the strategies emerging mobility and technology companies can use to protect innovation and build enterprise value. The series will cover:

Protecting Innovation and Building Enterprise Value in an Era of AI and Global Competition (Session 1)
In this session, we will discuss how successful mobility companies identify, protect, and leverage the assets that drive enterprise value. Attendees will learn how investors, acquirers, and strategic partners evaluate innovation-driven businesses, where startups commonly leave value on the table, and how to avoid protection gaps that can become serious obstacles during fundraising, commercialization, and growth. Whether your company is focused on transportation, logistics, robotics, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, or software-enabled mobility solutions, this webinar will provide a practical framework for building a more durable competitive advantage.

IP, AI, Data, and Commercialization Strategy (Session 2)
This session will explore the intersection of IP, AI, data, and commercialization strategy through the lens of real-world growth challenges facing emerging companies. Attendees will gain practical insight into how patents, trade secrets, data assets, technical know-how, and strategic partnerships can work together to support revenue generation, investment readiness, and market expansion. The discussion will focus on helping founders move beyond viewing intellectual property as a legal exercise and instead treat it as a core element of business strategy.

Building Enterprise Value and Preparing for Growth, Investment, and Global Expansion (Session 3)
Designed for founders and executives looking toward the next stage of growth, this session will discuss how investors, acquirers, and global industry players evaluate emerging technology companies. Topics will include intellectual property strategy, governance, international expansion considerations, risk management, and the systems that support sustainable growth. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to position their companies for future financing, strategic transactions, and global market opportunities while avoiding common pitfalls that can erode enterprise value.
