Happy Copyright & Collective Management Day to all artists & creators within & around the @_ARIPO region!

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! 🌍🚀

[Bemanya Twebaze @BemanyaT]

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.

[Bemanya Twebaze @BemanyaT]

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

[Bemanya Twebaze @BemanyaT]

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

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.

[Bemanya Twebaze @BemanyaT]

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.
