MBRF announces from New York it is hosting Knowledge Summit in Dubai next month. The Summit will explore the concept of 'Knowledge Markets' as an economic and social driver of growth, inclusion, and empowerment. Discussions will address the potential of modern technologies such as AI, blockchain, and big data in developing practical solutions to global challenges. The Summit will also focus on key issues including legislation, social transformations, intellectual property, patents, education, research, and innovation.
Jamal Bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said that Knowledge Summit 2025 represents a strategic milestone and reaffirms the message of positioning knowledge as a tool for empowerment. Dr Abdallah Al Dardari, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Arab States, stated that knowledge markets are powerful drivers to empower people and bridge divides.
The Summit will feature over 45 dialogue sessions with around 130 speakers, including senior government officials and leading figures in business, academia, and development. The programme will also include interactive side events such as the Authors' Corner and the Knowledge Markets Exhibition.
The Summit will host the launch of the 2025 edition of the Global Knowledge Index (GKI), which provides insight into trends and opportunities in knowledge economies and societies worldwide.
