Innovation and Intellectual Property in Africa – Cape Town, South Africa

The Open A.I.R. Conference on Innovation and Intellectual Property in Africa and the 3rd Global Congress on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest will be held December 9-13, 2013, in Cape Town, South Africa

The interwoven Open A.I.R. Conference and Global Congress events are designed to offer delegates distinct but complementary experiences. The first part of the week will expose participants to insights on IP and innovation in Africa, generated by the Open African Innovation Research and Training (Open A.I.R.) Project…. The second half of the week will contextualise African approaches within the larger paradigms of global public interest IP, and build momentum towards sustainable, coordinated engagement with these crucial issues.
