The essence of the Zayed Prize lies in its anticipation of future trends and its ability to inspire positive change on a large scale.

Participation in this award transcends mere competition; it is an invitation to collaboration and the exchange of knowledge. By submitting a project, Cape Verdean entities will have the opportunity to connect with a global network of experts, leaders, and innovators, strengthening their capacity and visibility.
