The INPI Represented Brazil in an International Forum That Discussed the Role of Intellectual Property in Sustainable Development and the Promotion of Green and Inclusive Technologies

The sustainable development has become the main axis of public and business policies on a global scale, and Intellectual Property (IP) has assumed an essential role in this process, according to a report published.

On October 4, the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) participated in the International Forum on Promoting the Use of IP for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), held during Expo Osaka 2025, in Japan.

The event brought together global leaders and institutions, such as the Japan Patent Office (JPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the European Patent Office (EPO), in addition to representatives from Canada, Chile, China, South Korea, the Philippines, France, and Laos.

Clean Technologies and Green Innovation Gain Ground in the UN SDGs

During the Forum, the presentations addressed how Intellectual Property can accelerate solutions related to climate change and strengthen the UN SDGs.

The WIPO Green project, a global platform coordinated by WIPO and supported by INPI since 2019, was mentioned as an example of international collaboration for sustainable development.

Focusing on clean technologies, WIPO Green connects creators of environmental innovations with investors and institutions interested in sustainable solutions.

According to data released during the event, the project already includes more than 1,200 registered green technologies, stimulating the transfer of knowledge between countries.

This integration reinforces the role of IP as a practical tool for environmental and economic transformation, promoting sustainable development in a concrete way.

WIPO Green and the Advancement of International Technological Cooperation

The WIPO Green, a global platform from WIPO, has become a central axis in the debate around innovation and sustainable development.

The participation of INPI in the project since 2019 demonstrates Brazil’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation.

During the event at Expo Osaka 2025, the Green Technologies Book – Expo Special Edition was launched, gathering successful cases and solutions that apply clean technologies in sectors such as energy, transportation, and agriculture.

Artisanal Mining Drives Sustainable Transition in Brazil with Clean Technologies, Inclusive Public Policies, Cooperativism, Training and Mercury Elimination

The document shows how Intellectual Property stimulates the creation of innovative solutions, enabling the practical implementation of the UN SDGs and strengthening the sustainable innovation network across continents.

These actions demonstrate that sustainable development directly depends on integrated global policies and the sharing of technical knowledge.

Inclusion of Women and Youth as Drivers of Sustainable Innovation

Another highlight of the Forum was the JPO-WIPO Award at Expo 2025, which honored companies committed to using IP to design more sustainable and inclusive societies.

The award also highlighted the active participation of women and youth in innovation environments, reinforcing the importance of diversity for sustainable development.

According to the organizers, increasing female and youth presence in technological projects is essential to expand creativity and drive solutions geared towards clean technologies and green innovation.

This vision aligns perfectly with the principles of the UN SDGs, which seek to balance economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental preservation.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Brazil presents what is being described as the world’s first engine designed to generate electricity on a large scale using almost only ethanol, in a project inaugurated at the Suape II thermoelectric plant in Pernambuco, in partnership with the Finnish company Wärtsilä.

Capable of hitting vessels hundreds of kilometers away at supersonic speed and drastically reducing enemy reaction time, the BrahMos arrives in Vietnam under an agreement that includes pilot training by India and aims to create a deterrent arc in front of the disputed islands with China.

ENEM 2026 deadline worries students: even with exemption approved, registration must be confirmed by June 5 to ensure participation

War in Iran raises fertilizer prices, triggers alert in Brazilian agribusiness, and leads the government to seek new suppliers to avoid impacts on the harvest.

Brazil begins to transform wheat, residues, sweet potatoes, and soy molasses into ethanol, in a new phase of biofuels that seeks to utilize leftovers from the field and industry to fuel flex-fuel cars.
