Riyadh Chamber, represented by the Executive Department of Legal Affairs and Compliance, organized— in collaboration with King Saud University, represented by the Entrepreneurship Institute— an event titled “Management and Investment of Intellectual Property Assets.” The event was held as part of the celebration of World Intellectual Property Day and witnessed wide attendance from specialists and those interested in innovation and technology transfer. This reflects the growing role of intellectual property in supporting the Kingdom’s economic direction and advancing the transition toward a knowledge-based economy.

Participants emphasized that protecting and investing in intellectual assets has become one of the most important tools for enhancing the competitiveness of the national economy. They noted that developing the innovation ecosystem requires effective linkage between university-driven innovation and private sector needs, thereby strengthening the ability of national enterprises to innovate and develop solutions that meet market demands.

The event also reviewed several key themes, including mechanisms for registering and protecting innovations, the importance of modern regulatory frameworks in increasing confidence among innovators and investors, and the role of intellectual property in maximizing the economic impact of innovation. This is achieved by fostering stronger collaboration between universities and the private sector, which supports university-based innovations and accelerates technology transfer.​
