Maktoum Knowledge Award (MBRKA) and CEO of MBRF, said: “The forum holds immense
significance, as it supports and elevates Arab awards’ status. It serves as an ideal platform for

communication and coordination, as well as a prestigious stage for advancing cooperation and
integration among various institutions and stakeholders, thereby enriching the Arab intellectual

and knowledge landscape while preserving our civilizational identities. We, at MBRF, are thrilled
to host the fifth edition of this prestigious event, and we believe that it will be a watershed

moment in our path towards encouraging Arab creativity, enabling it to attain excellence and

distinction across all sectors.”

Launched in 2015 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President
and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, MBRKA is one of the forum’s most prestigious

awards. It seeks to encourage and inspire individuals and organizations in the field of knowledge,
as well as to foster innovation and creativity in the advancement of thought around the world, by

honoring distinguished figures and institutions that have made significant contributions to the
production, development, and dissemination of human knowledge.

To date, MBRKA has honored dozens of winners, both individuals and institutions, in fields ranging
from knowledge to development and innovation. These include advancements in educational and

scientific institutions, information and communication technology, printing, publishing, and
documentation (both print and digital), as well as other sectors related to leadership and

innovation.

Hosting the Arab Awards Forum reflects a significant commitment towards advancing the region’s

intellectual and knowledge-driven movement. It highlights the role of awards as a key tool to
foster creativity and innovation, to promote scientific research and knowledge generation across

a wide range of sectors. Furthermore, it emphasizes the UAE’s leading position in developing a
knowledge-based economy and encouraging Arab collaboration to create a prosperous and

sustainable future for future generations.
