IP Youth Ambassadors

The IP Youth Ambassadors Program is an international awards program that recognizes young, innovative, energetic and creative minds for their substantial contribution to creativity and innovation.

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Academy launched the IP Youth Ambassadors Program in 2019. It is aimed at young promising creators, inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs to help promote IP knowledge among youths through creativity and inventiveness.

To spark creativity, ingenuity and curiosity among youths worldwide, we promote and deliver IP knowledge to youths, allowing them to make a positive impact in their communities.

The IP Youth Ambassadors Program aims to

• recognize young promising creators, inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs for their substantial impact on finding solutions to current challenges;
• encourage these young creators, inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs in their other inventive and creative pursuits;
• engage young people involved in creative processes to leverage IP for the benefit of their communities;
• promote the use of IP among young people together with national and regional actors through IP education; and
• develop a community of young IP leaders and advocates.
