Happy Copyright & Collective Management Day to all artists & creators within & around the @_ARIPO region!
Elated to celebrate this day in collaboration with @cipz_zimbabwe & @zimuraonline as we engage with esteemed members of the creative economy in #Zimbabwe.
Just wrapped up an enlightening week of #PatentDrafting with @WIPO, @JPO_JPN & @_ARIPO.
These newly trained professionals are set to bolster Africa's patent drafting talent pool, paving the way for substantial growth in intellectual property & increased patent activity in Africa.
Fostering a culture of curiosity and experimentation is key to driving innovation and business growth. @_ARIPO remains committed to supporting industries in this pursuit, contributing to the socio-economic growth of the African continent. Join us in this journey! 🌍🚀
The continent's youth, women, & SMEs are valuable to IP growth in Africa. @_ARIPO honours the creative and innovative interests & ideas from them.
We appreciate every opportunity to dialogue as we work together to shape the #IP Landscape in #Africa.
The future of global competitiveness is strongly connected to the commercial exploitation of the rights over proprietary innovations. An #IntellectualProperty owner can benefit by selling or licensing the IP right in exchange for payment. #Commercialization@_ARIPO
The benefits of a knowledge-based economy for African countries & businesses are immense. Increased innovation & technology can lead to greater productivity, improved resource access, better market access, & more efficient production. @_ARIPO Academy #CapacityDevelopment

#ARIPO brings together 22 Member States from Africa providing a platform to unleash #creativity & safeguard #innovations.
With so many countries agreeing on how to protect & promote #IP, businesses & individuals can benefit from their hard work when trading across borders & gain leverage on the competitive global front. 📺 https://t.co/HxRtWhFzdK
Today, I had the pleasure of hosting Ambassadors from ARIPO Member & Observer States based in Zimbabwe, at @_ARIPO. The purpose of this inaugural event was to engage the Ambassadors about ARIPO’s mandate and its positive impact on Africa’s socio-economic development through #IP.
Africa has a vital asset: a population of 60% youth. Their innovations, influence and impact will boost social and economic development. @_ARIPO promotes #AfricanYouth participation in #IP and the development of a knowledge-based economy.
