Participants will be able to walk away from the event with a renewed interest in science, technology, art and innovation.<br> </p><p>Register here: <a href="https://forms.office.com/r/DewDRx2zBy">https://forms.office.com/r/DewDR… event will commence with a high-level opening from the leadership of ITC and WIPO. Participants will then be guided through an exhibition space showcasing some of the mind-sparking and wonderful concepts, creations and inventions the world has produced. This will be a walk-through exhibition consisting of various stations that will be operational throughout the day from 10:00am. Some stations will feature interactive activities that will aim to ignite the kind of design-thinking needed to be able to innovate and create.<br><br>In addition to the various interactive activities that will take place, the Art and Innovation Fair seeks to engage participants in dialogue about the role of intellectual property rights and entrepreneurship to empower young creators and innovators. This is in line with the mandates of ITC focusing on trade and development and WIPO on building a balanced intellectual property (IP system). There will therefore be a dedicated time slot during the day for a fireside chat with IP and trade experts as well as entrepreneurs, innovators and creators. The day will end with a networking and cocktail.<br><br>Are you intrigued?
