Last night Afro Leo attended the inaugural CIPC Youth IP awards in the aptly name Heartfelt arena in Pretoria.
It was glitzy evening with 400 RSVPs consisting of dignitaries, contestants, representatives from industry, other important people and, of course, yours truly, all dressed up like a James Bond cast.
CIPC's Amanda Lotheringham was instrumental in putting it all together and gave an inspiring speech, together with Rory Voller, the Commissioner of CIPC, reinforcing the need for IP structures to form a bridge between innovation and value creation.
