In 2020, the Academy launched the IP Youth Ambassadors program as part of the IP4Youth&Teachers where young promising creators and inventors are selected to help promote IP education among young people in their country and region.

The criteria for an IP Youth Ambassador are:

  • Between 6 – 26 years of age
  • Created or invented something that is recognized at the national level (possibly a winner of some national competition etc.), or has a start-up / SME and used IP to help them in the process of launching their enterprise
  • Aware user of the IP system (in general – not in specific details and does not have to be of a legal background)
  • Role model material for other young creators and inventors.
