The Masdar Initiative, established by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, is a logical development of the Emirate’s long-standing commitment to a sound environmental strategy and continuing economic diversification.

It aims to become the source of energy, knowledge and innovation in order to position Abu Dhabi as a global new energy leader. Masdar is committed to the optimum use of natural and human resources so that Abu Dhabi can develop into a global centre of excellence for renewable energy research, development, and innovation. The development of clean sources of energy is a global responsibility with benefits for every aspect of life on our planet. They recognize that, to achieve our aspiration to play a leading role in fulfilling this responsibility, They need to collaborate with a broad range of partners who share our vision and commitment to a cleaner future. They are investing considerable resources to create a ground-breaking global network that fosters creativity and encourages innovation.
