In 2016, Melinda Gates won the MBRKA for her noble humanitarian efforts and

charitable contributions. She is one of the co-founders of the nonprofit
organization – Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – which combats global poverty

and diseases. She has been able to significantly improve the health and well-

being of families and communities, provide more educational opportunities and

access to information technology globally, and empower countless women and

girls through her unwavering pursuit and committed efforts.

Masdar, a leader in renewable energy and clean technologies, and a fully owned
subsidiary of Mubadala Development, received the MBRKA in 2016. The company

aims to achieve the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030 by creating new revenue

streams and advancing knowledge-based economic sectors in the Emirate. With

its emphasis on the essentials of clean energy project development and

sustainable urban development, it is among the global leaders in the clean

energy sector.

The Arab Thought Foundation, an independent international non-governmental
knowledge organization established in 2000 by His Royal Highness Prince Khaled

Al-Faisal, the President of this Foundation and the Chairman of its Board of

Trustees, shared the MBRKA in 2016. The organization was founded with the

single objective of fostering pride in the Arab nation's deeply ingrained values

and principles through a responsible freedom approach. The Foundation covers
a wide range of topics, including media, literature, economics, science,

medicine, and administration.
