Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, is to be honoured by the Middle East Institute with its Distinguished Global Leadership Award.
The award recognises his role in advancing the vision of the UAE leadership in energy, advanced technology, socio-economic growth and international collaboration.
With more than 20 years’ experience in public service, he has consistently championed robust governance standards and pragmatism.
A previous notable award came from CERAWeek by S&P Global in Texas last year, for his leadership as Cop28 President in Dubai.
Dr Sultan will be honoured at the MEI’s 78th annual gala in Washington DC in March, 2026.
