The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince’s Court established The Crown Prince’s Diwan Endowed Chair in Social Innovation and Sustainability at INSEAD’s Middle East Campus in Abu Dhabi.

The Chair will be awarded to visiting and resident INSEAD faculty at INSEAD’s Middle East campus.  The new initiative will promote research on new business models and market-based mechanisms that will contribute to sustainable economic, environmental and social development.

“Globally, INSEAD has been at the forefront of research on social innovation and sustainability. This partnership is further testimony of our ongoing commitment to building a more responsible global business climate. Thanks to the continuing support and long-term vision of HH General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, the Chair in Social Innovation and Sustainability guarantees resources to attract and retain outstanding faculty at INSEAD’s Middle East Campus.”  J.
