10/9/25, 10:44 AM Latifa Bint Mohammed Opens 5th Arab Awards Forum In Dubai - OneArabia

H.H. Sheikha Latifa stressed the importance of nurturing Arab scientists' contributions to fields like science and engineering

throughout history. She reaffirmed investing in knowledge and innovation to empower future generations to continue this
legacy of creativity and discovery.

The Forum also launched a new project in collaboration with the Arab Thought Foundation: the ‘Arab Awards Platform.’

This comprehensive database includes all Arab awards meeting membership criteria, providing detailed information about
each award. It classifies awards based on various criteria such as awarding body, field, target category, and monetary

value.

Strategic Partnerships

Bin Huwaireb stated that strategic partnerships are essential for making Arab awards critical tools for building human
capital and advancing knowledge production. "We must move beyond traditional methods," he said, aiming to cultivate an

ecosystem capable of competing globally.

The first day included a General Assembly meeting reviewing the Forum’s journey since its inception. Members discussed

cooperation prospects and future plans while specialised seminars featured thinkers and experts sharing insights on

various topics.

The event reflects efforts by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation to create a vibrant intellectual

environment in the Arab world. H.H. Sheikha Latifa noted that Dubai’s hosting underscores its role as a global meeting
point for culture, creativity, and knowledge.
