exceptional research and intellectual efforts that can positively impact society.
Due to its global and institutional nature, which allows for the nomination of creators and innovators, in

addition to government entities, companies, institutions, and associations, as well as local, regional, and
international organizations, MBRKA has honored a distinct group of individuals and institutions over the past

decade.
The 2022 edition of the awards recognized the ‘Hope Probe’ of the Emirates Mars Mission for being the first

Arab mission to reach Mars orbit in 2021, and the ‘Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting’ for its significant
contributions to the exchange of knowledge between various generations. Additionally, Dr. Katalin Karikó, a

biologist and researcher, and Dr. Drew Weismann, who leads a laboratory focused on the study of RNA and
innate immune system biology, won the award in 2022 for developing COVID-19 vaccines, only a few months
before they were announced as Nobel Prize laureates in Medicine in 2023. Dr. Chang Yongsheng, renowned

for his contributions in the field of rabies control and prevention of hemorrhagic fever, as well as his study of
the genetic makeup of SARS-CoV-2 virus, was honored at the previous edition.

New creators and innovators will certainly be added to the list of MBRKA winners, providing individuals with
broader access to knowledge avenues. This is consistent with the Knowledge Summit 2024 agenda, which
reaffirms Dubai's commitment to advancing sustainable development, while also encouraging leadership and

creativity. The latest edition serves as an open invitation to everyone to work together and strengthen the role
of knowledge and innovation as critical components in shaping the future of the world.
