by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF). In addition to providing a
forum for discussing ways to enhance programs and initiatives that support knowledge creation and
distribution, the summit devotes considerable attention to raising awareness about the critical role that

knowledge plays in the modern world.

The 9th Knowledge Summit is scheduled to take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Sheikh Saeed

Halls, from 18 to 19 November 2024, under the theme ‘Future Skills and AI Economy.’ With several
prominent speakers from the fields of artificial intelligence, technology, economy, education,
environment, and other key sectors in attendance, the summit’s agenda features a series of interactive

sessions, workshops, and knowledge events. This year’s summit will further address other themes,
including sustainable economic growth, workforce skills, future job prospects, and emerging
technologies such as data analysis, machine learning, programming, and AI, among others.

One of the major events on the sidelines of the Knowledge Summit 2024 will be the 3rd UNESCO
World Open Educational Resources (OER) Congress, which is hosted in collaboration with UNESCO and

held for the first time in the Arab world. Over 500 guests, including ministers, senior officials, and
decision-makers from numerous crucial sectors such as education, digital services, and
communications, are attending the event.

The summit will also mark the release of the 2024 edition of the Global Knowledge Index (GKI). Over
the years, the GKI has served as a qualitative resource for countries’ development strategies and goals

by highlighting strengths and areas of improvement through a range of indicators across various areas
of knowledge and identifying challenges to sustainable development pathways. A celebration will also
be held to honor the winners of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Award (MBRKA)

2024, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the welfare of humanity, progress, and
development, as well as other individual and institutional success stories.
