Digital Knowledge Hub: Leading Arab platform for

education and scientific research

8 July 2024- The Digital Knowledge Hub (DKH), the prominent Arab knowledge platform
developed by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), holds

a significant position in a world where artificial intelligence (AI) gains traction through its
reliance on digital knowledge and develops daily with the proliferation of applications and

systems that provide access digital knowledge. Furthermore, the DKH gains more prominence
as an integrated digital system with extensive Arab and global knowledge content and

contributes to elevating AI’s presence in the digital environment. It includes many cognitive
digital sources segregated using sophisticated standard methods that make the searching,

browsing, and reading process seamless and flexible anywhere and anytime.

Ambitious and pioneering cognitive mission

The key goal of the DKH is to develop a broad digital knowledge base and ensure its
accessibility to the Arab World and beyond. It also seeks to contribute to creating a robust
digital infrastructure, which supports sharing knowledge by enriching the Arab digital library

with books, studies, and research, and offering interactive educational content that addresses

the requirements of different age groups. In addition, the hub seeks to support the
dissemination of authentic Arab content and strengthen its position in the digital world for

bridging the digital knowledge gap in the Arab World.

The DKH further seeks to offer and develop an integrated open platform that gathers all

knowledge outputs of the MBRF along with the materials of institutions of the government
of Dubai and a wide range of libraries focused on special age groups and specialized knowledge
sectors. The move comes within a comprehensive smart framework to ensure easy and fast

access to diverse knowledge sources in different scientific, literary, and research disciplines

offered by Arab and international publishing houses. Currently, the DKH has over 600,000
titles divided into nearly 6.5 million digital materials.
