WIPO中国：产权组织推出“创新城市”新奖项

世界知识产权组织（产权组织）今日推出“产权组织创新城市”奖项计划，这项新倡议对全球范围内在促进其居民创新与创意方面展现出卓越承诺的城市进行表彰。

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) today launched the “WIPO City of Innovation” award program, a new initiative that recognizes cities worldwide demonstrating exceptional commitment to fostering innovation and creativity among their residents.

随着全球城市化进程不断推进，城市层面的战略规划对于实现发展与繁荣至关重要。成功的城市将运用知识产权来调动创新与创意、保护构思，并推动解决方案实现规模化。产权组织这一新奖项旨在彰显一个理念：通过宏大的愿景、妥善的规划和精心设计的政策，城市可以营造出有利于本地创新与创意的环境。

As the world continues to urbanize, strategic planning at the city-level is essential for growth and prosperity. Successful cities will use IP to harness innovation and creativity, protect ideas and enable solutions to scale. The new WIPO award program recognizes that, through bold vision, proper planning and well-designed policies, cities can create enabling environments for local innovation and creativity.

“如今，全球超过一半的人口居住在城市里，预计到2050年这一比例将达到70%。随着城市人口激增，城市汇聚了背景、技能、经验和抱负各异的人群，往往由此激发并催生新创意。但真正的创新需要这样的生态系统：知识产权能够保护新创意、赋能创新者，助力解决方案从构想落地为现实并加以推广。该奖项表彰那些承诺以切实可行的制度支持创新的城市。”

"Today, more than half of humanity lives in cities, a figure projected to reach 70% by 2050. As urban populations surge, cities bring together people with different backgrounds, skills, experiences and aspirations, often sparking and stimulating new ideas. But true innovation demands ecosystems where intellectual property protects new ideas, empowers innovators and enables solutions to scale from concept to reality. This award recognizes cities that pledge to back innovation with systems that make it work."

——产权组织总干事邓鸿森

这一新计划将奖励城市领导者在12个月的期间内为推动创新和创意所作出的承诺。获奖城市将获得全球认可，并拥有向世界展示本地创新者、创作者和企业家的平台。产权组织将与获奖城市合作，记录其实施情况并分享进展，使其他城市能够借鉴其经验，并建立一个联结全球城市的网络。

The new program rewards pledges that city leaders make to advance innovation and creativity, over a 12-month period. Winning cities will gain global recognition and a platform to showcase their local innovators, creators and entrepreneurs to the world. WIPO will work with awarded cities to document their implementation and share their progress, enabling other cities to learn from their experiences and create a network connecting cities around the world.

由知名专家组成的国际评审团将依据申请与遴选程序中所述的三项标准——愿景与城市概况的契合度、承诺事项的宏伟目标以及承诺事项的可信度——对申请书进行评估。

An international jury of renowned experts will evaluate applications based on three criteria ̶ vision alignment with city profile, ambition of pledges and credibility of pledges ̶ as described in the application and selection procedure.
