The ceremony was held to reward the winners of the 15th edition of the annual initiative organised by the Commerce Department, which is part of the Ministry for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects. This initiative is the “Malta Intellectual Property Awards 2024”.
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, almost €45,000 were 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 health, gaming, sustainability, engineering, digital art, medical research and education technology.
