What the organisation itself states on its site alliance-top.com. Paraphrased, checked Oct 2, 2026.

Organiser
International association "Alliance Top Association"; its charter says it is a non-profit operating under the laws of the UAE, Emirate of Dubai.
Founded
According to the charter, the association was founded on January 19, 2021.
Country
Headquarters in Dubai, UAE.
Who can join
The charter grants membership only to people with outstanding professional achievements, international recognition and a proven contribution to their field; members join one of four hubs (business, beauty, art, science and technology).
How admission works
Online application with CV, portfolio and recommendations, review by the relevant committee, an interview with a Vice President, and a closed vote of the Board (President and two Vice Presidents).
Fees
The charter lists membership fees as a source of funding, but the pages read state no amounts; it says paying a fee does not mean automatic admission.
  • A candidate must meet most of the charter criteria: 5+ years in an executive or expert role, awards, patents or publications, a contribution to the field, and written recommendations from two General Assembly members.
  • The association runs the annual Alliance Top Award; according to the site, participation is free of charge.
  • The site offers award winners the opportunity to join the following year's judging panel.
