10/13/25, 11:06 AM Company News in Egypt: MBRF and UNDP unveil details of Knowledge Summit 2025 from New York
that knowledge is the foundation for building just, inclusive, and sustainable
economies and societies. At UNDP, we see knowledge markets as powerful drivers
to empower people, bridge divides, and help countries navigate global challenges,
from climate change to digital transformation. Through our long-standing
partnership with MBRF, we are working to turn knowledge into a catalyst for
inclusive and sustainable development, shaping a fairer and more prosperous future
for all.”
This year’s Summit will feature over 45 dialogue sessions with around 130 speakers,
including senior government officials, international experts, and leading figures in
business, academia, and development. The program will also include interactive side
events such as the Authors’ Corner, the Knowledge Markets Exhibition, and the
Knowledge Café, in addition to a Policy Roundtable. The Summit will also host the
launch of the 2025 edition of the Global Knowledge Index (GKI), which provides
insight into trends and opportunities in knowledge economies and societies
worldwide, supporting evidence-based policymaking.
Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Adviser and Knowledge Project Lead at UNDP,
said: “The GKI has served as a pioneering knowledge instrument since 2017. It has
been undergoing extensive review since last year, with the support of experts from
diverse domains to ensure that it stays aligned with rapid global shifts, including
those in technology, the digital economy, and climate change, ensuring a
collaborative and multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, the latest edition of the GKI
and its findings will be unveiled during ‘Knowledge Summit 2025’. This is a
significant milestone as the index delivers profound insights, empowering nations to
design forward-looking policies.”
The organization of this year’s Summit comes at a pivotal moment as the world
undergoes deep economic, technological, and social transformations. The event
reaffirms the importance of fostering a global platform for dialogue, exchanging
experiences, and building cross-border partnerships to shape a shared vision for the
future of knowledge.
