Following a meeting in Jakarta between Indonesian foreign minister Sugiono and WIPO director general Daren Tang, both parties agreed to advance a partnership focused on leveraging IP for national development. Key initiatives will include developing human resource capacity, promoting innovation and increasing public IP literacy.

He affirmed WIPO’s readiness to provide training, technical assistance and support for concrete programs, underscoring a shared vision to make intellectual property a key driver of inclusive and sustainable economic progress.
