On top of that, a delegation from the Foundation, led by His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO
of the MBRF, visited Egypt and Kuwait to discuss potential avenues for cooperation, explore ways
to support innovative knowledge initiatives and projects, improve mechanisms for sharing
knowledge and experiences in the field of science, and formulate strategies required to enhance
the standard of education in the region.
The MBRF actively seeks to develop innovative educational programs that improve the scientific
and cognitive skills of students and teachers through collaborations with prestigious international
institutions. This is complemented by the active launch of strategic initiatives, the most recent of
which is the ‘FutureSkills4All’ initiative in collaboration with the UNDP - under the ‘Knowledge
Project’ - and Coursera, to provide the next generation of Arab talents with the necessary skills
to enhance their abilities and empower them with tailored educational experiences for
professional development.
By supporting scientific research and implementing cutting-edge educational technologies, the
MBRF provides genuine backing for studies and research centered on the integration of
technology in education. In this regard, the Digital Knowledge Hub (DKH) is one of the largest
digital hubs for Arabic content, with a mission to facilitate cross-cultural communication by
sharing Arabic knowledge and making it widely accessible. The DKH includes leading Arabic
publishing houses, as well as the first search engine specifically tailored to Arabic content on the
internet.
Through its emphasis on education and innovation, support for various knowledge initiatives, and
desire for innovation, the MBRF highlights the crucial role that knowledge and science play in
building societies and forming the foundations for future generations. These transformative
initiatives, strategic collaborations, and steadfast commitment to growth further reflect the
UAE’s increasing prominence as a vibrant, global knowledge hub.
