development, but its primary catalysts. This initiative embodies our belief in the power of
knowledge in creating opportunity and thus, delivering progress for all.”

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, stated that the world is currently

experiencing an unprecedented knowledge and technological revolution. Studies indicate that
more than 50% of today’s workforce will need to reskill in the coming years, according to a
report by the World Economic Forum. In response, the initiative “1 Million Qualified Innovators”

was launched as a practical solution to these challenges by training a million youth in Egypt in

future skills. We are honoured that the “Future Skills Academy,” launched by MBRF in
collaboration with the UNDP, serves as a key contributor to this ambitious project.

The “1 Million Qualified Innovators” initiative builds on the success of the Future Skills
Academy, which has already supported nearly 10,000 learners across the Arab States,

delivering over 115,000 learning hours. With engagement and completion rates that exceed
global benchmarks, the Academy reflects the region’s strong appetite for self-development and

digital learning.

ICESCO and the Knowledge Project envision “1 Million Qualified Innovators” as a cornerstone
for regional cooperation on future skills development, anchored in scalable digital platforms,
cutting-edge content, and strong public-private partnerships.

With the platform now active, learners from across Egypt can embark on their journey toward

promising, future-ready careers, transforming the vision of 1 million qualified innovators into a
shared reality across the region.
