The Knowledge Summit - The Prominent Knowledge Platform
Organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), the Knowledge Summit is a premier annual knowledge event in the Arab World. This event gathers
intellectuals, experts, visionaries, and policymakers to share experiences and insights about the future. By blending local
insights with global expertise, the summit creates an environment that encourages innovative ideas and the launch of
impactful developmental knowledge projects.
The primary objectives of the summit are twofold: first, to identify and address key issues in knowledge and development,
and second, to incorporate and transform best global practices into practical and applicable solutions. These objectives
allow the summit to tackle global challenges, promote sustainable development, and enhance the overall well-being of
nations.
These objectives are based on the belief that knowledge is the cornerstone of building resilient societies and adaptable
economies. It forms the foundation of MBRF's vision, aiming to contribute to tangible and sustainable developmental
progress in modern societies. This vision includes fostering knowledge generation and dissemination while expanding
innovative digital and sustainable green solutions.

knowledge and enlightenment, further aiding in the development of knowledge-driven economies.
