The event will bring together leaders from about 70 IP institutions of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner countries, as well as representatives from international organizations, embassies, domestic agencies, industry professionals, and scholars, totaling around 450 participants.
The conference will focus on regional cooperation, green development, digital transformation, and enhancing the value of intellectual property, according to senior CNIPA official Sheng Li.
During the three-day event, CNIPA, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the Eurasian Patent Office will conduct discussions on how IP can drive innovation in enterprises.

Chinese experts have also been sent to more than 10 countries and international organizations to support IP capacity building among BRI partners.
