According to Bahrain News Agency, the awards recognize the efforts and support of the commercial sector during the Bahrain holiday season and the Kingdom's 2024 celebrations. The national initiative included exempting fees for promotional campaigns and extending commercial discounts starting in December 2024.
The National Initiative received significant participation from shop owners and commercial complexes in the Kingdom, with 1,210 licenses issued for promotional campaigns and commercial discounts, marking an increase of approximately 10% compared to 2023.

Bahrain's Maryam Al Dossary Elected President of WIPO's Paris Union Assembly
Maryam Abdulaziz Al Dossary, the Commercial Attaché at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce based at Bahrain's Permanent Mission in Geneva, has been elected President of the Paris Union Assembly under the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This marks the first time Bahrain has ever held this position at WIPO, a significant milestone in the Kingdom's growing global influence in the field of intellectual property. The Paris Union Assembly is the governing body for one of WIPO's oldest and most important treaties — the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1883). This treaty lays down the global standards for patents, trademarks, industrial designs, and other industrial property rights. Al Dossary's election is seen as a historic achievement for Bahrain, positioning the country as a key player in international policymaking for industrial property. It also highlights the Kingdom's increasing recognition on the multilateral stage. This leadership role reflects Bahrain's firm commitment to innovation, intellectual property rights protection, and international cooperation in industrial development.
