About
Jeremy de Beer is a leading scholar at the intersection of intellectual property, innovation law, and technology policy, with a particular focus on the Global South. His research critically examines how legal frameworks shape—and often constrain—access to knowledge, digital inclusion, and sustainable development. Among his most impactful contributions is his work on smart farming and artificial intelligence in East Africa, where he explores the complex interplay between precision agriculture, AI-driven technologies, and local contexts of indigeneity, gender, and food security. This paper, published in 2022 and garnering 45 citations, exemplifies his commitment to grounding high-tech policy debates in real-world equity concerns. Beyond this, de Beer’s broader body of work—cited over 2,000 times—has shaped international discourse on open innovation, copyright reform, and the governance of emerging technologies. He has advised organizations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the African Union, and his scholarship is recognized for bridging rigorous legal analysis with actionable policy insights. For students and researchers, de Beer’s work offers a vital lens on how law can either perpetuate or dismantle global inequalities in the digital age.
