In addition, the KnowTalks organized a knowledge-rich discussion under the title ‘Green

Investment Growth’. The session witnessed the active participation of Shargiil Bashir, Chief
Sustainability Officer and Executive Vice President, First Abu Dhabi Bank, as he highlighted

the concept of green investment, which indicates low-carbon investments linked to renewable

energy, clean and environmental technology, and sustainability-related markets.

During the event, DIPW held a panel discussion titled ‘From Writing to Success’. The session,

which was moderated by Hanadi Al-Enais, convened writers Amal Jamea and Dana jayrudi

who are both graduates of DIPW. Furthermore, the Digital Knowledge Hub hosted another
panel discussion titled ‘How AI will Affect Libraries’ with Dr. Khaled Abdul Fatah, as its key

speaker.

The exhibition also witnessed a distinctive involvement of the ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative which

organized two interactive sessions. The first session presented by Dr. Mohamed Habash, with

the participation of Kenan Harb, focused on the title ‘Prospects for Academic Publication in

Arabic on the SCOPUS’. The second session, titled ‘Arabic Narrative Encyclopaedia’, was
presented by Dr. Abdullah Ibrahim who was interviewed by Muhammad Al-Ali in the presence

of a large number of writers and critics, led by Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language

Centre (ALC).

The MBRF seeks to host more knowledge sessions and meetings covering diverse fields

including knowledge, science, literature, and arts, in line with its extensive knowledge
program held throughout the ADIBF, which runs until 5 May 2024.
