Across Africa, innovation is accelerating, yet too many ideas fail to translate into sustainable economic value because intellectual property is under-protected, under-financed, or poorly understood. As Africa deepens integration under the AfCFTA and competes in a data- and technology-driven global economy, IP can no longer sit at the margins of policy, business, or investment decisions.

The Africa Intellectual Property (IP) Centre, through the All Africa Intellectual Property Summit under the International Trade and Research Centre, is the platform where policymakers, innovators, creators, investors, researchers, and development partners come together to move IP from theory to impact, from protection to commercialisation, from regulation to real markets. This is not just a conference; it is a continental call to action to build IP systems that work for African enterprises, creative industries, science and technology, and inclusive growth.

If you are shaping policy, building businesses, financing innovation, advancing research, or protecting African creativity, your voice belongs in this conversation. Join us to influence agendas, forge partnerships, unlock investment pathways, and help define how IP will drive Africa’s economic future.
