During the event, H.E. Jamal bin Huwaireb met with H.E. Yousuf Al-Hayaie, Consul General of the UAE in Munich,

enhance communication with global publishing stakeholders.

Arabist, shared her experience in a session titled 'My Journey with Translation from Arabic to Polish.' DIPW also
launched the 'Arabic-German Translation Workshop,' to enhance the presence of Arabic literature in the German
market.

The 'Knowledge Lounge' hosted two panels titled 'Emirati Literature: Between Heritage and Innovation,' and 'Literary
Editing: The Invisible Partner in Publishing,' highlighting the role of Emirati literature in preserving cultural heritage
and literary editing in book production. Meanwhile, the sessions under the 'KnowTalks' initiative explored topics such
as AI in life sciences and competence of futures literacy. MBRF's Digital Knowledge Hub (DKH) also showcased
updates to its platform and held sessions to discuss trends in the academic and digital publishing landscape.
