He added that IP is central to the growth of the UAE's creative industries and that the country is working to establish legislative and regulatory systems that support this sector. Recent efforts include the rollout of a new national IP ecosystem comprising 31 initiatives aligned with international best practices, the launch of a 'Patent Incubator' project to document patent registration processes across all emirates, and the establishment of a green IP pathway aimed at stimulating innovation in environmental sustainability and the new economy.
