On April 29, 2025, the graduation ceremony of the ‘China Greentech IPMC (2024-2025)’ was successfully held at the Beijing Liangmahe Conference Center. The event was hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and organized by Bluetech Clean Air Alliance (BCAA). As a flagship achievement of the WIPO GREEN City Acceleration Beijing Pilot, this initiative was jointly advanced by three WIPO divisions—IP for Business Division, WIPO GREEN, and the WIPO Office in China, while BCAA is responsible for the overall implementation. The program received strong support from the Beijing Municipal Government (Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office). The goal of this IPMC is to provide systematic and tailored IP strategy support to selected Chinese leading green SMEs.
Mr. Marco M. Alemán, Assistant Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), delivered a video congratulatory message for the event. He noted: " Chinese entities filed more than 150,000 green patents in the past five years, particularly in solar, battery, and electric vehicle technologies. The country is home to more than one-third of the world’s renewable energy patents The ecosystem here is vibrant, ambitious, and increasingly sophisticated. But as we all know, innovation alone is not enough. For green tech businesses to thrive, scale, and make a real impact, they need to effectively manage and leverage their intangible assets, their ideas, their know-how, their intellectual property. This is precisely where the IP Management Clinic Program led by the IP for Business Division at WIPO is playing a critical role."
As a key initiative of the WIPO GREEN City Acceleration Beijing Pilot, the China Greentech IPMC was officially launched on October 29, 2024. ‘By the time of its completion on April 29, 2025, the China IPMC had conducted one promotion event, carried out enterprises recruitment and screening, held an opening ceremony and today’s graduation ceremony, organized three intensive training sessions, arranged one study tour to BOE Technology Group, and coordinated 11 domestic and international mentors to provide nearly 100 one-on-one in-depth mentoring and communication sessions for participating companies. Additionally, a tailored intellectual property strategy roadmap recommendation report was developed for each of the twenty-five enrolled enterprises," explained by Xie Hongxing, Chairman and Director of Bluetech Clean Air Alliance, during the graduation ceremony.
Mr. Zou Ling, WIPO GREEN China Ambassador, stated: ’I extend my warmest congratulations to all outstanding enterprises’ representatives who have successfully completed the China IP Management Clinic program! Through intensive training, one-on-one mentoring, and field study in the program, the participating enterprises have significantly enhanced their awareness of IP protection and utilization, established customized IP strategies, and fully demonstrated their strong commitment to leveraging intellectual property as a key driver for green innovation."
