AFRICA, WHERE IS OUR MONEY GOING? πŸ’ΈπŸŒ Europe’s investors are cashing in – and what about us? We are losing our ideas. Farhia Noor asks the right question: πŸ‘‰ ‘When will we finally have pan-African IP frameworks and funds that finance African start-ups – without us having to register our patents in Delaware?’ My new article is about this exact imbalance: πŸ”Ή Local innovation – global monetisation πŸ”Ή Offshore patents instead of African value creation πŸ”Ή EU Global Gateway: lots of announcements, little ownership πŸ”Ή Biopiracy 2.0: From teff grain to AI models πŸ”Ή And what true partnership would really mean πŸ“ What do we need? βœ… African-led VC funds βœ… Diaspora angels with vision βœ… Fair IP contracts βœ… Pan-African patent structures βœ… Narrative ownership Africa is already building the future – but who owns it? #AfricanInnovation #IPJustice #GlobalGateway #AfCFTA #VentureCapital #TechSovereignty #FarhiaNoor #MadeInAfrica #OwnershipMatters
