(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 25 March 2025- The
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), in collaboration with
the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), launched the 2025 edition of the
‘KnowTalks’ series to enhance the production, dissemination, and sustainability of
knowledge. Building on the success of the Knowledge Summit, the region’s premier
knowledge event organized annually by the MBRF and the UNDP, the series serves as a
platform for distinguished thought leaders, decision-makers, and experts to address key
developmental and knowledge-related issues and explore innovative solutions for current
and future challenges.
The series bridges cultural divides across various fields, fostering conversations on key
themes shaping the global knowledge landscape. Topics include the role of advanced
technologies in driving community development, strategies for closing the knowledge gap
across regions, and the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of sectors such

Other topics examine the significance of knowledge in establishing the foundations for an
innovation-driven economy, the impact of big data analysis on shaping development
policies, and strategies for skill development to address the future needs of the labor
market in a continuously evolving global technological landscape.
The 2025 ‘KnowTalks’ edition will feature 35 local and international sessions in hybrid
formats that combine in-person and virtual participation, enhancing accessibility and
fostering global engagement. The series will also feature sessions hosted as part of
prominent knowledge events, including the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair and the
Frankfurt Book Fair. Furthermore, special sessions will take place at leading universities
and research centers worldwide, ensuring the involvement of academic communities,
students, and innovators.
His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: “The ‘KnowTalks’ series is a
crucial platform for addressing the issues shaping the global knowledge ecosystem and
exploring sustainable development solutions. This initiative, which brings together leading
experts and thought leaders, will pave the way for tackling future challenges, fostering
innovative solutions that align with global transformations, and enhancing the role of
knowledge in promoting social and economic well-being. The series embodies MBRF’s
dedication to fostering knowledge and passing it on to future generations, thereby
contributing to the development of more advanced, prosperous, and future-ready
communities.”
