Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Daren Tang said Egypt became an inspiring model to be followed by the rest of the Middle East, given the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi toward unprecedented achievements in various fields.
He made the remarks during a meeting with President Sisi in the presence of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Mohamed Ayman Ashour.
Tang expressed his honor to meet with President Sisi, praising Egypt’s efforts in cooperating with WIPO to support intellectual property, capacity-building, and development efforts and to provide job opportunities for young innovators.
These efforts were embodied in Egypt’s launch of the National Strategy for Intellectual Property (IP) under Egypt’s Development Vision 2030, he said.
During the meeting, President Sisi affirmed Egypt’s keenness to integrate intellectual property issues into its national policy, as knowledge, innovation and scientific research are a fundamental pillar of economic development and progress, the Egyptian Presidency spokesman said.
As Egypt is launching the National Strategy for Intellectual Property, the president said Egypt supports cooperation with WIPO in various fields, especially scientific research, science, technology, and innovation and it also supports entrepreneurs and innovators.
