This award reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister
of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to address the challenges of
water scarcity. The award aims to find sustainable solutions that
ensure the availability of fresh water for impoverished and
afflicted communities around the world and the most affected
groups. This supports a brighter future for generations to come.

fostering innovation and investing in the latest technologies to
help less developed societies achieve sustainable development.
