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,

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 organisation 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.
