Standing on Sustainability: How Sustain Global Is Redefining Innovation at RAKIS 2025
A Summit Where Impact Meets Investment
The Ras Al Khaimah Investment & Business Summit (RAKIS) returns in 2025 with expanded ambition and global reach. Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the summit brings together policymakers, investors, innovators, and business leaders across manufacturing, tourism, real estate, infrastructure, finance, and future industries.
Yet this year, one exhibitor stands out for transforming sustainability from an advocacy point into a tangible reality: Sustain Global.
Sustain Global: Not Just Showcasing Sustainability — Standing on It
In an environment powered by high-level business conversations and investment opportunities, Sustain Global’s 18-square-meter stand is proving that true innovation starts with the foundation you build on — quite literally.
The stand is constructed entirely from upcycled palm fronds by DesertBoard®, a regional pioneer in circular material innovation.
“We are delighted to be participating in the Ras Al-Khaimah Investment and Business Summit (RAKIS) and we are walking the talk on sustainability, starting with our stand itself,”— Adriene Doolan, Sustain Global
The build is not only circular and low-carbon — it is also certified zero emissions through the EPD International system. Sustain Global partnered with Olive Gaea to complete its carbon calculation, reinforcing a powerful message:
credibility matters, and sustainability must be measurable, not rhetorical.
A Network That Embodies Collective Climate Action
At RAKIS 2025, Sustain Global isn’t just presenting itself — it is uplifting an entire ecosystem of forward-thinking companies committed to real impact. Their stand features innovations and solutions from some of the most progressive names in sustainability:

These organisations represent the emerging face of the UAE’s sustainable economy — where innovation is designed to reduce emissions, restore ecosystems, and accelerate responsible growth.
Why RAKIS 2025 Is the Perfect Platform
Following a successful inaugural edition in 2024, RAKIS is rapidly becoming one of the Middle East’s leading platforms for business, investment, and transformation.
This year's summit is designed to scale even further with:
Four Priority Tracks
Manufacturing & Business
Tourism & Hospitality
Real Estate & Infrastructure
Investment & Finance
A Larger Exhibition
Featuring cutting-edge innovations across diverse sectors.
High-Impact Discussions
With globally renowned speakers exploring the region’s future.
Exclusive Business Networking
Including curated 1:1 meetings, government engagement, and investor dialogues.
As Ras Al Khaimah continues positioning itself as a regional hub for sustainable growth, RAKIS 2025 provides the gateway for businesses seeking expansion in one of the fastest-growing markets in the Middle East.
Circularity in Action: A Stand That Tells a Story
Visitors entering Hall EP9 will encounter more than a booth — they will see a live demonstration of circular design, low-carbon construction, and collaborative innovation.
Sustain Global’s presence serves three purposes:
To prove sustainability can be integrated into every level of business participation — even the exhibition stand.
To give visibility to impact-driven companies often overshadowed at major investment events.
To show that climate integrity and economic growth can, and must, advance together.
Conclusion: Leading by Example, One Stand at a Time
Sustain Global’s presence at RAKIS is a reminder that sustainability leadership is not defined by slogans, but by choices — the materials you use, the partners you empower, and the standards you uphold.
By showcasing upcycled materials, zero-emission certification, and a coalition of innovators moving the UAE toward a low-carbon future, Sustain Global is setting a new benchmark:
sustainability must be seen, felt, measured, and lived.
And at RAKIS 2025, it starts from the ground up — with a stand built from the very principles the organisation champions.
