Annual Joint Event of the AL-INVEST Verde Programme – CONEXIÓNVerde+

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) will organise the event #CONEXIÓNVerde+ in Medellín, Colombia, in collaboration with the other implementing partners of the AL-INVEST Verde programme: the development organisation 'sequa', the International Italo-Latin American Organisation (IIlLA), and the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Public Administration and Policy (FIAPP), in the context of the EU-funded IP cooperation project AL-INVEST Verde IPR or Component 3 the Programme.

The event aims to enhance synergies between all Components of the AL-INVEST Verde programme and facilitate a networking platform for the exchange of relevant information among ‘Partnering Projects’. It also seeks to raise awareness about the significance of IPRs, particularly geographical indications, for small producers.

The event contributes to expected result 2: Improved capacities of the productive sector, particularly SMEs and the scientific-academic, technological and agricultural sectors, regarding the management of IPRs (including GIs) to obtain value from innovation.

The EUIPO, as implementing agency of the EU-funded IP cooperation project AL-INVEST Verde IPR, will continue to organise similar events/activities in the region for the benefit of users.
