To encourage innovation among students and young scholars, the initiative provides a range of incentives,
including reduced registration fees for students and a zero-cost policy for young people under the age of 21.

These measures aim to foster collaboration and integration among the UAE’s scientific research sectors,
universities, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Additionally, the initiative includes specialised training programs and technical consultations provided by the

Ministry in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). These efforts are focused
on building capacities of the local workforce and raising awareness about the significance of IP. The initiative

also aims to create a manual that will facilitate the coordination and joint operations between the Ministry and
the scientific research sectors, defining roles and responsibilities to ensure the delivery of high-quality
outputs.

The event also marked the signing of memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with various universities,

research centers, and participating entities to foster collaboration and align efforts towards achieving the
project’s objectives. These agreements aim to establish performance indicators for research outcomes and
evaluate their impact on increasing the number of registered patents in the country.
