In his inaugural address, Shaikh Nahyan said: “I take great pleasure in inaugurating the Dubai Global Convention 2015 at a perfect location for serious discussions of innovation, creativity, and excellence. This year of innovation in the UAE coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Institute of Directors. That happy coincidence emphasizes our shared concern for excellence. The excellence that you recognize today with the Golden Peacock Awards is precisely the kind of excellence that we continually seek.”
