Boao Forum Sparks Global Dialogue on IP & Sustainability
At the Boao Forum this week, experts and policymakers spotlighted intellectual property (IP) as a driver of sustainable development. A high-energy panel featuring officials and scholars emphasized how protecting innovation can tackle global challenges like climate change and tech inequality.
'IP isn’t just about patents—it’s about empowering ideas that shape our future,' said one scholar, as the discussion explored how stronger IP frameworks could boost green energy, AI ethics, and even global food security . Participants agreed: collaboration between governments, startups, and academia is vital to turn today’s breakthroughs into tomorrow’s solutions.
With Asia leading 60% of the world’s R&D growth, the Forum’s focus on fair IP practices signals a major step toward inclusive innovation. Could this be the blueprint for a greener, smarter planet?
