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.
