Knowledge Forum for the Islamic World” in Morocco under the theme
“Knowledge is the Future.”
The Youth Knowledge Forum (YKF) aligns with MBRF’s ongoing efforts to
empower young people, foster their creative and innovative talents in
knowledge fields, and prepare them for tomorrow’s professions. It also
showcased inspiring success stories and young role models, highlighting
pioneering experiences and impactful initiatives across the Islamic World.
His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, stated: “The
outstanding success of the YKF highlights MBRF’s unwavering commitment
to empowering youth, unlocking their full potential, and nurturing their
creative talents. We firmly believe that young people play a pivotal role in
shaping a prosperous future. The YKF’s extensive engagement and robust
international participation reflect the eagerness for knowledge among youth
across the Islamic World, as well as their determination to pursue growth and
explore new horizons in various scientific and intellectual fields.”
His Excellency added: “At MBRF, we remain committed to launching
innovative initiatives and projects that support and empower youth,
equipping them with the tools and skills necessary to achieve their
aspirations and adapt to the rapid advancements in knowledge and
innovation. Investing in young minds is the cornerstone of sustainable
development and the foundation for building societies driven by knowledge
and innovation.”
During his closing remarks, Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Advisor and
Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, stated that the trend
now shifts towards launching a digital platform where young people can
submit suggestions on ways to promote knowledge. These proposals will be
reviewed and evaluated with the aim of putting them into practice.
