DTR Talk (Direct-to-Retail)DTR occurs when a licensing agreement specifies the retailer as the licensee as well as the distributor of the licensed merchandise. Retailers are very keen on DTR to stay competitive and increase profit margins. Licensors are also open to DTR for shortening the time-to-market and gathering direct consumer feedback of their licensed merchandise. Come join this session and hear from the Retailers in person their needs and operations as well as successes and challenges of the DTR co-operations.

Licensee DialogueWith the broadened IP varieties and the increasing crossover promotions nowadays, branded merchandises and service consumptions have become part of our everyday lives. Hence, instead of focusing to work with manufacturers, licensors have become more open than ever in extending their brands to different service sectors, including food & beverage, gaming, movies, education, theme parks and resorts, etc. Come join this session and hear from the non-typical licensees in person the innovative models and needs as well as successes in their licensing co-operations.

I do expect that the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong will be the largest licensing market in Asia by the year of 2020.

Mr Aurelien PalasseHead of Licensing & Publishing

Ubisoft

To global games developer like Ubisoft, China is not just a promising market, we are also able to create global contents through Chinese expertise.

Mr Ciaran CoyleGlobal Vice President and Head of Global Brand Licensing, Electrolux

Hong Kong offers clear advantages as an ideal platform for licensors, licensees, agents and manufacturers to get together, which include intellectual property (IP) rights protection, respect for business agreements, distribution networks and access to quality licensees.

Mr Galen Gao

Jing Ji Circle Agency Leader JD.com

The so-called China Consumption Upgrade trend encouraged JD.com to branch out into developing a comprehensive IP trading platform from its existing B2C online retail channel. It serves as the regional hub for promoting licensing businesses and broadening the business network for us.
