Abu Dhabi, 05 February 2025:

The Ministry of Economy launched a new roadmap for ‘Green Intellectual Property (IP),’designed
to foster innovation, accelerate technology localisation, and develop new projects in new economy,
environmental sustainability, and circular economy. The three-month roadmap will strengthen the
competitiveness of the UAE’s IP landscape and contribute to its progress and prosperity,
supporting the country’s directives to transition to a circular economy.

In this regard, H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of the
UAE Circular Economy Council, said: “Thanks to the forward-looking vision of its wise
leadership, the UAE has succeeded in adopting qualitative initiatives and projects for the
intellectual property sector, positioning it as one of the key pillars for building a strong and
sustainable national economy. Building further on this progress, today we are witnessing a new
milestone in the development of this key sector. The ‘Green IP’ roadmap is a new step in our
efforts to raise awareness on the importance of adopting green technology and innovation to
provide superior services and products that serve the community, as well as enhancing the UAE’s
attractiveness to green and sustainable innovations. These efforts help consolidate the country’s
position among the most innovative countries globally, in line with the ‘We the UAE 2031’
vision.”
H.E. added: “The new roadmap for Green IP is particularly important as it coincides with the
launch of this year’s Innovation Month. We will collaborate with local environmental stakeholders
in the country and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to implement all the
objectives of this roadmap, providing more enablers and opportunities to motivate inventors and
creators to develop sustainable innovations and projects in critical economic areas and sectors.”

The Ministry of Economy organized a media briefing at its Dubai headquarters to shed light on
the objectives of the new roadmap for Green IP, and its vital role in supporting national efforts to
promote innovations in the UAE’s sustainable economy sectors.
