China and the United States are home to the greatest number of science and technology clusters, new data from WIPO's Global Innovation Index 2024 finds: https://lnkd.in/eaSUu2HU. While Tokyo-Yokohama and Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou still top the ranking of local concentrations of science and technology activity, shifts among the top 100 clusters show fast growth of innovative activity in emerging economies. Science and technology clusters are geographical areas with the highest density of inventors and scientific authors, based on patent-filing activity and scientific article publication. #WIPO #GII2024 #GlobalInnovationIndex #Science #Technology #Innovation

Feeding students in need, one delivery at a time. Driven by the question of how to support students in need while addressing the issue of food waste, French entrepreneur Yovann Pigenet knew he wanted to find a solution – and Delivraide was born. Founded in 2021, the company partners with large supermarket groups that provide unsold food and hygiene kits at no cost to students across the country. Initially an online platform, Delivraide has since expanded into a mobile app where students can order kits in seconds. To date, Delivraide (Équipage Solidaire) has distributed over 50,000 meals in 14 cities across France. The company registered trademark to promote and protect the brand, and is continuing to grow – so that no one is left behind. #WIPO #SocialEntrepreneurship #YoungEntrepreneur #Trademark #Branding

Designing for sustainability ♻️📦 Oxana Zaporoniuc, a 22-year-old designer from Moldova, is transforming glass bottle packaging with her innovative, eco-friendly design. Her lightweight and minimalist packaging reduces material use and allows consumers to safely transport fragile items.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, meet Meet María Rosero Trejo and Nury Ruano Chapues – two Indigenous weavers from Ipiales, Colombia, who are coordinating a women-led community of weavers and artisans. Using traditional Guanga fabric, the group creates stunning scarves, jewelry, handbags, and ruanas – a traditional poncho-style outer garment poncho. All products are handmade from sheep’s wool, employing ancestral manual techniques that are helping preserve tradition. María and Nury are participants of the WIPO Training, Mentoring, and Matchmaking Program on Intellectual Property for Women Entrepreneurs from Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, a skills-building program designed to help women entrepreneurs make strategic and effective use of intellectual property tools to grow their businesses. María and Nury have applied for a collective mark to better promote and protect their products. “The collective mark would provide us with a solid platform for growth and expansion, while protecting and promoting our cultural heritage. We believe that this tool is essential for our future and for the sustainable development of our association and our community,” says Nury.
