Since 26 April 2019, the Menai Science Park (M-SParc) has led Wales's contribution to the worldwide festival of creativity, enterprise and innovation known as World Intellectual Property Day. Each year the festival focuses on a different theme. The theme for this year is "IP and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future." At a video conference earlier in the year, Emily Roberts, Jamie Thomas and I interpreted that phrase as "a celebration of the creativity, enterprise and innovation of young people around the world." Accordingly, we agreed to celebrate the creativity, enterprise and innovation of the young people of Wales.
Wales's choral tradition is renowned but it is also a dancing nation. Its classical dance company, Ballet Cymru has created a rich repertoire that features exciting new works such as Dylan Thomas – A Child’s Christmas, Poems and Tiger Eggs and Tir to the music of Cerys Matthews but also adaptations of Giselle, Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella for small casts in tiny theatres. The company has presented those works in rural and inner-city venues around the United Kingdom and beyond. Ballet Cymru's super-talented young artists will dance for us in their studio in Newport and their artistic director, Darius James will discuss their outreach work for the children and young people of Wales.
One of the leaders of the US space programme was an Anglesey man called Tecwyn Roberts. He never forgot the junior school that had given him his start and he revisited it. at the height of his career. One of the students of the school at the time of his visit was a little girl called Nia Roberts. Nia was inspired to read natural sciences at university. She has also enjoyed a glittering career in science to inspire a new generation of school kids to follow her into STEM.

Tecwyn had to leave Wales for a career in space. That is no longer necessary for Wales has a rapidly growing space sector which is attracting bright young men and women from around the world. Representatives of that industry will outline some of the opportunities for new businesses in everything from telecommunications to remote sensing and mention the highly paid
jobs that will be available to those who want to work in them.
All of that requires entrepreneurs ready to spot the opportunities and exploit them. Who better to talk about that infrastructure than Tom Burke, founder and CEO of the communications platform Haia. Tom will tell us how he developed Haia at M-SParc and how local financial and professional service providers have helped him to grow his business.

Tom, Nia, Darius and others will speak at a lunchtime seminar between 12:30 and 14:00 on 26 April 2022 that anyone anywhere in the world can join online. Those who happen to be in M-Sparc on the day can also attend in person. Register here to secure your place. There will also be an all-day exhibition at M-SParc on the Welsh space industry, Ballet Cymru, Haia and all sorts of other contributions to World IP Day in Wales and around the world.
