We are proud to announce that Eli Bar-On, co-founder and CEO of MENA2050, has been officially appointed as a Knight of Parte Guelfa, the historic and prestigious Order of the House of Medici, whose lineage dates back to the 13th century in Florence.
This exceptional honor recognizes Eli’s dedication to building and leading MENA2050. The values embodied by Parte Guelfa – protection of humanity, stewardship of nature, dedication to peace, and pursuit of the common good – closely align with the mission and vision that drive MENA2050’s work across the region.
Eli dedicates this honor to the entire MENA2050 community. “Your commitment, hope, and collective vision make everything we do possible,” he reflects. This knighthood is not only a personal recognition but a testament to the hard work, collaboration, and shared ambition of all those involved in MENA2050’s initiatives.
Our heartfelt congratulations go to Eli for this remarkable recognition. This milestone inspires us to continue our work with renewed energy and dedication, fostering meaningful impact for people and the planet.
