WIPO- IPOS IP For Innovation Awards 2023
The WIPO-IPOS IP For Innovation Awards 2023 celebrates Singapore enterprises who have achieved outstanding growth through the successful use of intellectual property (IP).
Organised by IPOS International and supported by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the Awards seek to recognise IP champions who have leveraged the effective use of IP to innovate, transform and grow their business.

This distinguished honour underscores our unique approach to measuring success. At PCF, we prioritise the profound impact we have on society over commercial standards. Our commitment to innovation is evident through our leading role in inclusive education research, our proprietary materials in mother tongue, and our renowned ONE PCF Curriculum. Our recognition as finalists in these awards highlights the role of innovation, intangible assets, and intellectual property in shaping the future of our young ones, reaffirming that innovation knows no boundaries, even in the preschool sector.
