Executive Program - Message from the Dean

Harnessing intellectual property

Welcome to the WIPO Worldwide Academy Executive Program


Mpazi Sinjela, Dean

Intellectual property has emerged as an important source of competitive advantage in recent years. How well a firm creates, manages and leverages intellectual assets can make the difference between success and failure. Developing core competence in intellectual property management is essential for every organization in the 21st century.

WIPO has been in the business of promoting economic, social and cultural development through the effective protection and use of intellectual property (IP) for more than a century. Our activities in the field of promoting the protection of IP worldwide through standardization and progressive development of IP laws, international industrial property registration and dispute resolution services and our international technical cooperation programs, continue to oil the wheels of international trade and commerce which in turn brings economic gain, efficiency and certainty to business enterprises of all shapes and sizes in every nook and corner of the world.

Our Executive Program is geared towards developing IP skills and competencies in business organizations. Drawing on WIPO's vast expertise and resources and a carefully selected group of eminent academics and experts from renowned business schools, major global corporations, professional bodies and business consultants, the WIPO Worldwide Academy offers a unique interdisciplinary learning experience in the theory and practice of international intellectual property management.

Whatever your personal and organizational requirements in the field of intellectual property, you will find one or several of our Executive Programs rich, relevant and beneficial to you and your organization.

Let us together harness the power of intellectual property. 

We look forward to meeting you in one of our Executive Programs.
