(MBRKA) further reinforces the MBRF's global support for numerous projects and initiatives in
the education and innovation fields, fostering innovation and developing creative solutions to

address educational challenges. The MBRKA aims to encourage knowledge pioneers, and

difficult for individuals to gather and share knowledge, how documented knowledge can be

conveyed through printing and publishing, and how knowledge continuity can be ensured

through paper and electronic documentation.
