Malta Intellectual Property Award 2022

Awards Ceremony

The ceremony was held to reward the winners of the 13th edition of the annual initiative organised by the Commerce Department, which is part of the Ministry for the Economy, European Funds and Lands. This initiative is the “Malta Intellectual Property Awards 2022”.

The Malta Intellectual Property Awards are aimed at promoting the creation of Intellectual Property in Malta and recognizes both innovative projects originating from people who are fairly new in their field and of those made by people of experience in the creative, scientific and technological sector.

This year around €50,000 was distributed in prizes. It is gratifying that for this edition we had a high-level of projects with a range of initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence, transport, culture, aviation and education.
