marks a significant step forward in enhancing the institutional framework of the UAE’s IP ecosystem. He
emphasized that it reflects the leadership’s vision of establishing a comprehensive legislative and service

environment that protects the rights of innovators and creators, and fosters a competitive, knowledge-
based, and innovation-driven economy. H.E. added that collaboration with WIPO will accelerate the
adoption of global tools and policies in digital transformation, capacity-building, and knowledge policy

integration, further cementing the UAE’s position as a global hub for the new economy and creative
industries.
