His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb stated: “There is a pressing need to exchange knowledge and
expertise across countries and institutions. This will certainly empower the Arab region to address its
growing challenges and seize the immense opportunities for innovation and growth presented by today’s
technological revolution.”
H.E. added: “Our work at MBRF, in close collaboration with our strategic partner, UNDP, shows that
investing in precise knowledge indices and standards, including the Global Knowledge Index (GKI) and
future foresight reports, is key to helping governments and policy-makers craft impactful strategies for
knowledge-based economies. The success of the ‘Future Skills Academy’ initiative is a testament to this
approach, having equipped thousands of young Arabs with the essential skills through thousands of
educational programs. The initiative not only fosters a culture of lifelong learning but also enhances the
readiness of upcoming generations for a fast-evolving job market. Our partnership with UNDP
underscores our shared commitment to transforming knowledge into a practical pillar of development,
empowering our societies to achieve sustainable competitiveness globally.”
Dr. Abdullah Al Dardari said: “With just five years remaining until the deadline of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, the Arab region must urgently intensify its efforts to meet the goals. We hope
this event will help align our collective efforts towards transforming data, skills, and innovation into
actionable solutions for building inclusive, sustainable, and resilient societies. We are proud to collaborate
with our partners to ensure that the perspectives and voices of youth, women, and local communities,
who are often overlooked, play a central role in shaping a more inclusive and equitable future, not only for
the Arab region, but globally.”
