The categories are evaluated based on three criteria:

Innovation: Innovation refers to a novel solution or a transformation of an existing solution that solves a challenge or a need, generates value and brings significant positive impact.

 

A solution can be a technology, a service or a business model.

 Organisations must demonstrate that their solution:

 

- has a unique value proposition;

 - is disruptive or transformative;

 - is technically and commercially viable; and

- is adopted by the market.

 

The Prize does not award early stage start-ups, inventions, prototypes or solutions that have not demonstrated any impact on the ground.

 

Impact: Impact refers to a positive change that addresses social, economic, technological and/or environmental challenge(s) and has proven to make the world a better place by improving the well-being of humanity.

 

Organisations must demonstrate that:

 

- their solution already has had a positive impact on the quality of peoples' lives;

 - they are resilient to potential social, economic, technological, and environmental challenges;

 - they have good governance by employing skilled people and establishing fair policies;

 - they have a detailed plan of how the Prize money would be used to further increase their impact.

 

Inspiration: Leading by example, Sheikh Zayed, the founding father of the UAE, placed great value on the pursuit of socio-economic development that meets the needs of both current and future generations.

 

Continued through the Prize, Sheikh Zayed’s legacy is a source of inspiration for the entire world.

 Organisations must demonstrate that their solution:

 - reflects Sheikh Zayed’s core values, sustainability and human development, which were central to his own approach and actions;

 - can inspire and influence others to advance sustainable and human development; and

 - can further inspire sustainable actions from the wider community by instigating behavioural changes.
