The new partnership between IDEX and TDC through its Takamul program complements their continuous efforts to support and evolve innovation, raise awareness specific to intellectual property, and provide business with the correct advice and opportunity to patent their innovations.
On the occasion, IDEX CEO Saleh Al Marzooqi said: “For over twenty years, IDEX has been locked in a pursuit of global excellence and innovations. With each edition we witness a great deal of innovative solutions in the defense space focused on transforming the future of the industry. This partnership with TDC is a testament to our shared commitment to both protecting and commercializing innovative ideas offered by businesses at IDEX 2015.”
The partnership will see Takamul provide their expertise and support to the Emirates Innovations Campaign at IDEX 2015. Takamul will help showcase several new inventions from enterprises, universities and Emirati individuals alike.
H.E. Ahmed Saeed Al Calily, Director General of TDC said: “The Takamul program is one of the Abu Dhabi Technology Committee’s key initiatives and plays a vital part in supporting the process of innovation in the area of science and technology. The program, which was created to facilitate the innovation cycle, from the generation of ideas to the practical and commercial application of these ideas into products, solutions and services has found an excellent platform to reach and connect with innovators from the UAE with IDEX 2015. By working in partnership with leading entities such as IDEX we continue to uncover and support world-class new ideas in science and technology pioneered from around the UAE, bridging the gap toward a knowledge-driven economy.”
IDEX is the world’s leading joint defense exhibition. IDEX takes place biennially under the patronage of HH Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and is organized by IDEX LLC (an ADNEC Group Company) in association with the UAE Armed Forces GHQ.
