Ashoka endorses Light Years IP approach
Ron Layton, Founder and Chief Executive of Light Years IP, was elected as a lifetime Global Fellow by Ashoka Foundation for his innovative vision to draw on IP business strategies to increase export income, and the security of that income, for developing countries.
Ashoka is a global non-profit organization that pioneered the "social venture capital" approach in international development. Ashoka identifies and invests in leading social entrepreneurs - extraordinary individuals with unprecedented ideas for change in their communities - supporting the individual, idea and institution through all phases of their career. Once elected to Ashoka, Fellows benefit from being part of the global Fellowship for life.
