Cooperation HUB

WIPO’s Cooperation HUB is the space for knowledge, experience and information exchange, aimed to support effective South-South and Triangular cooperation initiatives in various fields of intellectual property (IP) and innovation.

South-South cooperation refers to cooperation between fellow developing and least developed countries.  Triangular cooperation includes a developed country or an institution, which supports South-South initiatives.

An important goal of WIPO’s Cooperation HUB is to better communicate about existing innovations and successful projects in developing and least developed countries.

WIPO intends to also facilitate the creation of new partnerships amongst countries and organizations, through its online matchmaking platform – South Match.
