The UAE was chosen as the best possible location to hold the awards because of the leadership vision and
innovation that is clear for all to see.
HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nayhan, President of the UAE and HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai are exemplary around the world for leading
the growth and diversification of the UAE. Throughout our journey to create these awards our team has been
continually inspired by HH Sheikh Mohammeds words.
Does running water stop when it reaches a rock? Of course not. It turns either left or right and continues its
way. Likewise a positive person is confident that no challenge will stand in the way of achieving his or her goal
(Extract from the book Flashes of Thought by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum).
