MoCI signs strategic partnership programme with KIPO
Tribune News Network Doha The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has signed a strategic partnership programme with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), representing a significant milestone in the development of Qatar's National Intellectual Property Strategy and the enhancement of institutional and human capacities in this key domain. The agreement was signed by Mohammed bin Hassan Al-Malki, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Wan Ki Kim, Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The partnership stems from the Memorandum of Understanding on Intellectual Property signed between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Korea on 15 June 2023 in Seoul. The memo laid the groundwork for comprehensive bilateral cooperation in the field of intellectual property, and the newly signed programme represents a concrete step forward in its implementation. The programme is designed to support the formulation of an integrated national strategy for intellectual property in the State of Qatar. It also aims to implement a range of advanced initiatives to strengthen both institutional structures and human capital, thereby contributing to the country's shift towards an innovation-driven economy and supporting the evolution of legal and regulatory frameworks. Under the programme, both parties will collaborate in several priority areas. These include the development of human resources in Qatar's intellectual property ecosystem, benchmarking local practices against global standards, and conducting stakeholder consultations to identify the most suitable intellectual property systems for national needs. The programme will also facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise from the Korean side, with a focus on building the technical competencies of Qatari professionals working in this vital field. The Ministry and KIPO will jointly monitor and assess the progress of the programme to ensure the achievement of its objectives and to deepen cooperation between the two countries in the domain of intellectual property.

Qatar's undersecretary advocates for robust industrial alliances at Abu Dhabi event
QNA Doha Mohammed bin Hassan Al-Malki, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, took part in the 'Make it in the Emirates' Forum, held in Abu Dhabi on 19-22 May 2025. During the forum, he highlighted the State of Qatar's efforts to foster partnerships and advance sustainable industrial integration regionwide. Speaking at a panel discussion titled 'Integrating Transnational Supply Chains: International Industrial Alliances and Partnerships,' Al-Malki emphasised that Qatar's national manufacturing strategy 2024-2030 aligns closely with the UAE's vision of enhancing regional industrial cooperation. He commended the rollout of the 'Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development' from Abu Dhabi in 2022, considering it a pivotal platform for advancing collaborative industrial growth and regional economic integration. The Industrial Partnership initially brought together the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, Bahrain, and Morocco. It has since expanded to include Qatar and Turkey as of early 2025, creating a cooperative framework to foster industrial integration among member states and support the development of a resilient, innovation-driven, and sustainable economy. He underscored the collective industrial capabilities of the member states as a lever to address global challenges and achieve regional leadership in supply chain management and advanced manufacturing. Al-Malki noted that 'Make it in the Emirates' is more than a platform for showcasing national capacities; but a catalyst for forging strategic industrial partnerships, driving innovation, and building a resilient infrastructure that serves the aspirations of future generations. He highlighted two strategic partnership initiatives, initiated under the Industrial Partnership, that embody the spirit of collaboration between member states: The partnership between Qatar's MedGulf and the UAE's Future Pipe Company for the supply of 28,000 meters of fiberglass piping – scheduled for completion in January 2026. The long-term agreement between Qatar Steel and Bahrain Steel, valued at USD 1.266 billion, to supply five million metric tons of raw materials over five years, aimed to enhance supply chain integration and ensure a seamless industrial production across the region. He also underscored the Qatar National Manufacturing Strategy 2024–2030, which aims to develop a resilient, diverse, and future-ready industrial sector.
