On September 23, 2025, the first Origin Summit will take place in Seoul, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and intellectual property.
About the Origin Summit
The Origin Summit, organized by Story in collaboration with Blockworks and Korea Economic Daily, will gather international leaders in AI, blockchain, and finance to discuss intellectual property. The main goal of the event is to explore the potential of IP as a key factor in the largely undervalued $80 trillion market.
Importance of Intellectual Property in Economy
Intellectual property is the backbone of global creativity and innovation. It spans a wide range of assets, from music and biotechnology to user-generated content. The relevance of verified and rights-cleared IP is increasing as artificial intelligence evolves, which requires structured data for effective performance.
Korea as a Center of Innovation
South Korea is seen as an ideal venue for the Summit's topics due to its digitally fluent population and the development of the creative IP sector. In 2024, cultural exports, including music and animation, generated $13.6 billion for the country. Crypto investment is actively growing, and South Korea holds a significant share of the alternative token market.
The first Origin Summit promises to be a significant event in the world of intellectual property and technology, bringing together leading experts and practitioners in a unique setting.
