emphasis on eco-friendly innovations.

The roadmap also aims to fortify legal frameworks for protecting environmental
patents, positioning the UAE as a regional leader in the Global Innovation Index (GII)
2024. With progressive IP regulations and a commitment to sustainable development,
the UAE continues to establish itself as a global hub for green innovation and
economic diversification.
