Knowledge Summit 2025 to kick off in Dubai on 19th November

DUBAI, 29th October, 2025 (WAM) -- The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF)
announced the key highlights of the 10th edition of the Knowledge Summit 2025, which will be held at the Dubai
World Trade Centre from 19th to 20th November, under the theme 'Knowledge Markets: Developing Sustainable
Communities'.

The Summit, which recognises knowledge as an integral part of community development, is in line with the
UAE's declaration of 2025 as the Year of Community and includes informative sessions and in-depth discussions
that promote global participation.

The event emphasises the value of investing in ideas and knowledge as the most impactful way to build thriving
communities.

Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, highlighted how the 10th edition of the Knowledge Summit is not simply a
milestone, but the beginning of a new decade of global knowledge impact.

He said, "The Summit stands as a global benchmark for thought leadership in the knowledge economy, further
positioning Dubai as a hub for universal dialogue on transforming knowledge into sustainable economic and
social value. More importantly, it showcases the UAE's innovative model for a knowledge-based economy driven
by data, research, and innovation, in line with our wise leadership's vision to make knowledge a crucial resource
for shaping a better future."

Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Advisor and Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, stated, "This
year's Global Knowledge Index (GKI) has been comprehensively updated to improve accuracy and cross-country
comparisons by refining indicators and adding new criteria sets to assess key sectors such as education, research
and development, and Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) among others. It also provides policymakers
with a more practical and effective tool to design short- and long-term strategies that address challenges and
drive sustainable human development."
