What we Heard – Part I
Indigenous Intellectual Property (IP) Roundtable
In August 2023 CCAB researchers partnered with Innovate Calgary, Economic Development Lethbridge, and University of Calgary to utilize funds provided by Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) through the ElevateIP program to host an Indigenous knowledge and intellectual property (IP) roundtable in Lethbridge, Alberta. The purpose of this event was to bring together Indigenous businesses, governments, and IP professionals to gather insights on how to more effectively protect and recognize Indigenous knowledge and IP. The report captures key themes of our discussion and has been used to inform the ElevateIP program in Alberta.
