UAE Launches Geographical Indications System

To Boost National Product Competitiveness

The UAE Ministry of Economy has launched a pioneering federal initiative introducing a Geographical
Indications (GI) system for national products. The initiative is designed to safeguard and enhance the
global competitiveness of products that are uniquely linked to specific regions in the UAE through their

distinctive characteristics, traditions, or environments.

Announced at a high-level event in Abu Dhabi, the GI system marks a significant milestone in the
country’s efforts to strengthen intellectual property (IP) protection and promote sustainable economic
development. The launch was attended by over 200 stakeholders, including senior government

officials, IP experts, and representatives from public and private sectors.
