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.
