Where is Egypt from the world in using Intellectual property as an enabler for growth and competitiveness? – Round 1

ECES organized this two-day webinar in collaboration with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Participants included a select group of WIPO international experts as well as representatives of creative industries in Egypt. The discussions covered global and regional intellectual property rights, as well as Egypt’s position on the issue, focusing on creative industries, and stressing the necessity of solving the problem of overlap between the different government bodies. Addressing this overlap would achieve significant progress in the field of intellectual property rights, and would provide added value to the Egyptian economy by protecting creative industries. Institutional reform would contribute to solving a large part of the problem.
