The Nigeria AfCFTA Coordination Office, led by Mr. Awolowo, emphasizes intellectual property (IP) protection as essential to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) goals. IP fosters cross-border trade, entrepreneurship, and collaboration across Africa. Mr. Awolowo notes the office’s commitment to working with stakeholders to ensure that outcomes from the All Africa IP Summit 2024 shape policies benefiting African nations and regional trade.
The All Africa IP Summit 2024 is a key gathering for IP experts, policymakers, business leaders, and innovators across Africa, aiming to address the pivotal role of IP in Africa’s sustainable development. As Africa advances its economic transformation under AfCFTA, IP protection is viewed as vital for enhancing competitiveness, encouraging innovation, and preserving African cultural heritage.
The 5th Africa IP Summit seeks to elevate IP’s role in economic growth, industrialization, and positioning African enterprises globally. Its objectives include fostering dialogue on IP protection, enforcement, and commercialization challenges while promoting collaboration among policymakers, industry, and academics. By raising IP awareness and strengthening the IP ecosystem, the summit will support Africa’s sustainable growth, integration, and resilience, helping African businesses thrive on the global stage.
