Break-out session 4: AfriPI – programme of support to intellectual property rights in Africa

The Africa IP SME Helpdesk is an initiative funded by the European Union under the AfrIPI project, designed to support European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in or looking to enter African markets. The Helpdesk provides free, confidential, and first-line advice on IPRs, assisting SMEs in understanding how to identify, protect, and enforce their IP across African jurisdictions.
