        24  February  2025  –  The  Mohammed  bin  Rashid Al  Maktoum  Knowledge
        Foundation  (MBRF),  in  cooperation  with  the  United  Nations  Development
        Programme (UNDP) and in collaboration with the Islamic World Educational,
        Scientific,  and  Cultural  Organization  (ICESCO),  concluded  the  “Youth
        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.
        For  her  part,  Dr.  Sally  Mabrouk,  Director  of  the  Office  of  the  ICESCO
        Director-General, commended the great success of the YFK. She noted the
        high  attendance  and  the  significant  engagement  of  young  people  via  live
        streaming, which reached nearly two million live views over the two days of
        the event. This, she said, reflects the growing importance of such forums in
        empowering youth and preparing them for the future.
