framework, enhanced by integrated services aimed at safeguarding intellectual property rights

are seen as essential for achieving the goals of the “We the UAE 2031” vision, which aspires to
position the UAE as a global leader in the new economy and one of the top 10 destinations
worldwide for talent and creativity over the next decade.
Enhancing intellectual property protections
Additionally, Al Marri noted that the introduction of the Dubai IP Hub, in partnership with the
Dubai Future Foundation, represents a significant step forward in strengthening intellectual property
protections for the creative industries in both Dubai and the UAE as a whole. This strategic initiative
is intended to provide entrepreneurs, authors, creatives, and researchers with the essential tools and
resources needed to secure and formalize their innovations, ultimately bolstering an economy
increasingly driven by creativity and innovation.
Advancing the legislative framework
Khalfan Belhoul remarked that the collaboration with the Ministry of Economy in developing this
platform is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the UAE’s legislative framework, improve the
readiness of all economic sectors, and establish a robust research and development ecosystem. By
offering crucial tools for businesses to flourish, the aim is to facilitate their growth and expansion
within the UAE, the region, and globally, he further said.
Empowering creativity and innovation
Al Marri emphasized that the establishment of the Dubai IP Hub, in partnership with the Dubai
Future Foundation, represents a significant step forward in strengthening intellectual property
protections for the creative industries in both Dubai and the broader UAE. Additionally, this
strategic initiative, he said, empowers entrepreneurs, creators, and researchers with essential tools
and resources to secure and formalize their innovations, ultimately bolstering the nation’s economy,
which is increasingly fueled by creativity and innovation.
