Recognizing the significant role of creativity and innovation in

forward thinking, the UAE aims to achieve sustainability while
solidifying its position as a global hub for innovation and creativity,
aiming to maintain global competitiveness in this field .Notably, the
UAE was ranked 31st globally on the Global Innovation Index (GII)
by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2023, a
testament to its unwavering commitment to supporting and
promoting the work of creators and innovators.

Innovation is an in dispensable catalyst for national progress and
advancement. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al

bedrock for development and a driving force behind shaping the
future; and that cultivating an attractive environment for innovators

government practice.”
