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.
