Project financing

Inventions financing mechanism

Faced with the major challenge of financing which slows down the valuation of inventions in our Member States, the OAPI has implemented an innovative mechanism approved by the Board of Directors. This device is aimed at:

Actively support technological development by promoting patents
Create a robust eco -consolidation and enhancement ecosystem of innovations
Mobilize considerable financial resources with our partners

In partnership with the African Guarantee Fund (AGF), this mechanism will unlock up to 40 billion CFA francs to access funding, with the prospect of supporting 1000 projects over five years , generating a significant impact on the economic development of our Member States.
