The Zayed Future Energy Prize is managed by Masda, Abu Dhabi’s multifaceted renewable energy company. This prize is being organized by The Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) in a bid to address the need for holistic change.
The Zayed Future Energy Prize is offered in education systems throughout the world and under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and chairman of ADEC.
This summit addresses the requirement to deliver relevant education in a rapidly changing global society as international government, academic, business and civil society leaders share lessons from their home countries.
Since 2008, through the Zayed Future Energy Prize, the United Arab Emirates has been honoring those who have placed a tangible and evident effort in globally advancing renewable energy and sustainable technologies. Each year, an individual, organization or a nongovernmental agency is recognized for groundbreaking achievement in developing and deploying solutions to our future energy needs.
