Awareness-raising on IP: World IP Day 2024

This year’s World Intellectual Property Day is of special significance to Mozambique. As the nation celebrates the 20th anniversary of its National IP Office, it is a fitting moment to reflect on the crucial role of intellectual property (IP) in shaping a brighter future.

The theme, ‘IP and the SDGs: Building Our Common Future with Innovation and Creativity,’ perfectly aligns with Mozambique’s milestone. By fostering a robust IP system, the country can empower its citizens, particularly young entrepreneurs and SMEs, to contribute to sustainable development.

AfrIPi will participate as it presents a timely opportunity to:

Raise Awareness of IP: the conference will educate attendees, particularly SMEs, youth, and aspiring entrepreneurs, on the importance of IP in safeguarding creativity, driving innovation, and fuelling business development.

Promote AfrIPI: The conference will highlight the valuable resources and support offered by the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (AfrIPI), including the Africa IP SME Helpdesk.
