About us

The CIPC IP Youth Awards celebrate young innovators and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future with groundbreaking ideas. Hosted by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), the awards recognize and reward youth who have inspirational ideas that could be grown into prosperous businesses.

This initiative aims to inspire innovation, highlight the importance of IP protection, and empower young creators to commercialize their ideas. If you’re a young South African with an bright idea, this is your chance to gain national recognition and access opportunities to grow your innovation.
