Mr. Aleman stressed that innovation lies at the core of sustainable development, enterprise growth and creative ventures, and is crucial for addressing challenges like climate change and health. Countries investing in strengthening their innovation ecosystems and promoting intellectual property rights, like China, are better equipped to handle uncertainties. The global network of over 1500 TISCs in 93 countries provides support to inventors and businesses. Integrating TISCs with national and institutional strategic frameworks can promote regional development and meet the needs of local innovators.


Mr. Li highlighted that, since 2017 and with WIPO's support, 101 TISCs have been established in China. These centers have significantly contributed to entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and pandemic research. CNIPA aims to deepen its TISC collaboration with WIPO and enhance international network exchanges, contributing to the global development of TISC network.
