SHARJAH- The Ministry of Economy, MoE, has organised a workshop on innovation as part of UAE Innovation Month in Sharjah, held at the Sharjah Centre for Astronomy and Space Sciences.
Speakers during the workshop were Noora Al Nuaimi from the Ministry of Economy, Ebtisam Ahmed Al Shumaili from Ministry of Education, and Amna Abdul Malik Al Hammadi, a computer teacher at Ruqayya School. At the beginning of the workshop, Al Nuaimi talked about what intellectual property means and gave the attendants a detailed explanation on how to register a patent on an invention through the Ministry of Economy’s website.
A person can take all registration steps and receive the certificate and patent number through the ministry’s website and email, she said, adding that in case of any missing documents, the person would be contacted to complete them.
Al Shumaili reviewed ten innovations that address renewable energy, traffic accidents, fires, rationalisation of water consumption, treatment of vitamin D deficiency, and conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. Thermal energy is converted into electrical power by designing bumps in streets that produce electricity for lampposts at night and running water pumps to irrigate gardens and trees during the day. Al Hammadi presented a workshop that provided non-conventional and innovative solutions for anything faced by people based on devising other ways for already existing practices.
