WIPO绿色——2020年回顾年（英）

WIPO GREENYear in Review 2020www.wipo.int/greenwww.wipo.int/green2020 was a year marked by disruption and transformation. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated changes to the way we live, work and play. At the same time, it brought home how much we are interconnected and how other critical challenges that we face, such as climate change and sustainability, can only be solved through finding global solutions. In such a year, WIPO GREEN played its part by stepping up efforts to accelerate innovation in green technologies. WIPO GREEN’s core activities in 2020 contributed significantly to supporting green entrepreneurs and making innovation available to users across the world – all with the goal to support the dissemination and adoption of green technologies globally. The Climate Smart Agriculture Acceleration Project in Latin America produced a strong network of new partners in the region. This year, we saw almost 100 new connections between seekers and developers of green technologies via the WIPO GREEN platform. For the coming year, one of our main goals is to transform our online database and platform into a green business intelligence hub. We are creating a central interface for the exchange of green technology and providing critical insights and tools for our users. Beyond providing an interface, we intend to begin efforts to expand and improve our support to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in this sector, by helping them use IP to take their ideas to address climate change challenges to the market. WIPO GREEN will facilitate pro-bono services through our partner network, assisting SMEs in raising awareness about their successes and needs and improving our matchmaking services to support their business models. WIPO GREEN will also connect SMEs with interested investors, facilitating the challenging journey from a brilliant idea into a marketable product that can change the world for the better. In 2021, more than ever, we must take concrete steps to ensure that the global IP system helps identify solutions to address the global challenges of our times. If the past year taught us anything, it is that quick action is crucial, global cooperation is essential and change is a given.Daren TangDirector GeneralWorld Intellectual Property Organization Letter from the Director GeneralWIPO GREEN 2020 in numbers166,000+ 120,000+7,400+3,750+ 770+400119 51Page views (107.5% increase, 80,000+ in 2019)Unique page views(100% increase, 60,000+ in 2019)Newsletter subscribers(10% increase, 6,700+ in 2019)*Technologies, needs and experts (21% increase, 3,100+ in 2019)*Connections (15% increase, 670+ in 2019)*PCT patent applications imported from PATENTSCOPEPartners (19% increase, 100 in 2019)*News published (240% increase, 15 in 2019)* Cumulative numberWIPO GREEN @ GLOBE 2020 business summitVancouver, Canada.
