Launched in 2011, Takamul is an innovation programme developed and operated by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) to support UAE-based inventors and foster innovation across the country. Takamul aims to position the UAE as one of the most innovative nations in the world by promoting the entire innovation cycle, from idea generation to commercial execution. The programme offers support to inventors at various stages of innovation and promotes awareness, particularly on the legal aspects of intellectual property (IP).
Takamul provides funding opportunities and guidance on intellectual property, ensuring inventors and businesses can protect and scale their innovations into real-world applications.
