Local innovators to benefit from continental showcase

Addressing the media last week, IPA director, Pauline Koelbl stated that this will be a platform for local innovators to learn more and get more exposure, as there would be a number of empowerment activities and workshops prior to the awarding ceremony.

“We have two parallel workshops, we call them connectors.  They would consist of policy makers, investors, institutions and anyone who can add value. The first one focuses on intellectual property whereby professionals would identify local innovators that want to learn about protecting their innovations,” said Koelbl.
