Anza Founders Night - IP Rights Edition

Join us for our Anza Founders Night event celebrating World Intellectual Property Day on April 26th! The event will serve as a platform that recognizes the vital role of intellectual property (IP) rights in driving innovation and creativity.

Under the theme “IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity,” our event will get into the intersection of IP and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We’ll explore how IP can propel us towards a more sustainable future while supporting innovators and startups in Kenya and across Africa.

Our objectives for the event include:

1. Raising awareness about the importance of intellectual property rights in fostering innovation and economic growth.
2. Providing resources, support, and networking opportunities for innovators and startups.
