H.E. said: “Intellectual property is a key enabler of our country’s knowledge-based economic model, fostering
innovation and supporting entrepreneurship in scientific, technological, and cultural fields. Therefore, the Ministry of

Economy and Tourism continues to enhance the UAE’s IP ecosystem in line with international best practices. To this
end, we are forging partnerships with our global partners and relevant global organisations and keeping pace with global

technical and legislative developments in this regard, aligned with the objectives of ‘We the UAE 2031’ to solidify the
UAE’s position as a global hub for the new economy.”

The agreement was signed by H.E. Bin Touq and Daren Tang, Director General of WIPO. Under the terms of the

agreement, both parties will collaborate on supporting digital transformation, developing joint projects, and building
institutional and human capacities. They will also strengthen policy integration across innovation, education, industry,

and intellectual property through leveraging WIPO’s expertise. A joint working group will be formed to follow up the
implementation, assess progress, update the action plan, and share technical reports and information, thereby reinforcing
the competitiveness of the UAE’s innovation and creativity sectors at regional and global levels.

This collaboration reaffirms the UAE’s position as a key partner in shaping the global intellectual property landscape

and highlights its leading role in supporting initiatives that foster a resilient, innovation-driven, and technology-based
economy, while safeguarding the intellectual property rights of creators and inventors across vital sectors.
