2/24/25, 9:30 AM UAE launches new roadmap for 'Green Intellectual Property' to drive innovation
He stated that the Ministry of Economy remains committed to supporting national

projects aimed at promoting sustainability across various economic sectors, in line
with the UAE's vision to build a sustainable and well-balanced economy that protects

natural resources for future generations.

In his speech at the session, he said, "The new roadmap for Green IP aims to

promote the adoption of leading digital solutions and advanced technology by
individuals, organisations, and companies to produce sustainable products and

services that contribute to environmental conservation. Following this roadmap, we

are keen to forge new partnerships with the academia and research centres to

integrate IP into sustainable innovations and protect the rights of eco-friendly
projects and innovations."

The Undersecretary continued, "This roadmap plays a vital role in fostering

innovation and creativity in sustainable sectors, bolstering the UAE's competitiveness

and elevating its standing in key global indicators, particularly in the Global
Innovation Index (GII), where the UAE consistently maintains its regional and

international prominence year after year."

Furthermore, he highlighted the new roadmap's key objectives that the Ministry seeks

to accomplish, including the introduction of a programme that will accelerate the
registration of patents related to sustainable technologies and eco-friendly

innovations. The aim is to raise the percentage of patent registrations for sustainable

and environmental innovations to eight per cent of the total number of patent
registrations in the country.

Furthermore, it will strengthen the legal frameworks for protecting patents related to

environmental sustainability, particularly given the continued growth in the number of

patent applications submitted in the country, which reached approximately 3,622 in
2024.

Al Saleh emphasised the UAE's accomplishments in establishing a robust and

competitive legislative framework to foster the growth of this crucial sector. This
