世界知识产权组织（产权组织）已启动2023年全球奖计划，在全世界范围内征集以卓越方式利用知识产权支持的创新创造来实现商业目标并改善社会的中小企业候选人。
WIPO has opened the 2023 edition of its Global Awards program, seeking small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) candidates from around the world that use intellectual property (IP)-backed innovation and creativity in an exceptional manner to achieve business goals and improve society.
2023年产权组织全球奖面向整个商业活动范围内的中小企业申请者——创意产业、本地和国际品牌、创新技术提供者和所有其他企业。

“产权组织的全球奖计划表彰为市场带来伟大的新产品和新服务的企业及个人，这些企业和个人创造了支持社区的就业机会，同时通过各自的工作改善着我们的世界。我们希望通过表彰以知识产权为中心而取得成就的中小企业，鼓励更多的企业和企业家战略性地使用知识产权，将创意推向市场。”
“WIPO's Global Awards program recognizes enterprises and individuals that bring great new products and services to market, creating jobs that support communities, while improving our world through their work. Our hope is that in recognizing the IP-centered achievements of SMEs, we will encourage greater numbers of businesses and entrepreneurs to use IP strategically in taking their ideas to market.”
全球奖“是增强知识产权作为资产的重要性的一种方式。就此而言，我对非洲或发展中世界任何地方的人的唯一关切是，不要害怕发展壮大，”来自尼日利亚的全球奖评委朱利叶斯·阿金耶米表示。他是麻省理工学院媒体实验室的常驻企业家。
The Global Awards "are a way to amplify the importance of intellectual property as an asset. And the only concern I have for those in Africa or anywhere in the developing world, for that matter, is not to be afraid to thrive,” says Julius Akinyemi of Nigeria, awards juror and Entrepreneur In Residence at the MIT Media Lab.
“年轻的企业家应该努力参与奖项竞逐。这是获得认可的好方法。但除此之外，这也是一种能帮助他/她们扩大生意的机制，”评委会成员、约旦战略家和投资人阿明·巴德尔丁博士说。
“Young entrepreneurs ought to want to be competing for this. It's a great way to get recognized. But in addition to that, it's a mechanism that can help them grow whatever trade they have,” says jury member Dr. Amin Badr-El-Din, of Jordan, a strategist and investor.
“所有的发明人，我有个秘密要告诉你们，那就是世界比你们想象的要小得多，而你们的创意却比你们想象的要大得多。因此，带着你们的创意来角逐吧，看看你们的发明如何能够走向世界，”爱沙尼亚评委卡罗莉·欣德里克斯说。她是一家创业公司的创始人。
“All inventors out there, I have a secret, you know, that the world is much smaller than you think and your idea is much bigger than you think. So bring your idea to our competition and see how your invention can go global,” says Karoli Hindriks, of Estonia, an awards juror and startup founder.
WIPO全球奖的申请不收取任何费用，向来自世界各地和各行各业的中小企业开放，可以自荐。
The competition – free of any charge – is now open for self-nomination to SMEs from around the world and from all industries.
