Zayed Sustainability Prize teams up with SIEF at CIIE
The Zayed Sustainability Prize has announced a strategic partnership with the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF) to expand its outreach and engagement in China.
The two parties exchanged a Memorandum of Understanding to outline the framework for collaboration and promote joint efforts to identify and engage sustainability innovators across China, at the UAE-China Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum during the 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai.
"The Zayed Sustainability Prize serves as a catalyst for partnership, connecting visionaries, investors, and communities to accelerate sustainable development where it's needed most," Lamya Fawwaz, executive director of Zayed Sustainability Prize, said. "Guided by the UAE's belief in collaboration as a driver of progress, our partnership with SIEF deepens engagement with China's innovation landscape, empowering local solutions to contribute to global sustainable growth and shared prosperity."
Through this collaboration, SIEF will serve as the primary bridge connecting sustainability innovators from China with the Zayed Sustainability Prize, the UAE's pioneering award for innovative solutions to global challenges. The partnership reinforces both organizations' shared commitment to advancing solutions that support environmental stewardship and inclusive development.
"Many view the Middle East as the energy and investment powerhouse, but we see it as a region of future innovation, cultural richness, and global impact," William Wang, chief representative for Middle East & Africa of SIEF, said. "We are deeply honored to co-create a partnership like this to scale solutions that serve both local communities and the global good."
