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