This is the fifth award Motivate Publishing has received from the Sharjah Book Fair and the company's third consecutive year of winning this award. The longest established book publisher in the Gulf, Motivate Publishing will celebrate its 25th year of book publishing this year. The company's book division is enjoying a dynamic period of growth, with Arabian Heritage and Gulf Business Books being two of its most popular imprints. Motivate's list of more than 300 titles also covers a wide variety of topics, from activity guides to cookery books.

Motivate Publishing has always placed strong emphasis on helping to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of the UAE. As such, a number of books have been commissioned from some of the region’s greatest explorers, travel writers and photographers, including Lord Patrick Lichfield, Sir Wilfred Thesiger, Ronald Codrai OBE, royal photographer, Noor Ali Rashid and Ramesh Shukla.

There is also a platform for Arabic language publishing, notably the highly successful My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai.
