and supporting digital and print Arabic content. This, in turn, contributes to building communities
capable of adapting to change and achieving excellence and leadership.

cultural and intellectual communication. It allows for expanding the impact of initiatives such as Bil
Arabi and the Digital Knowledge Centre, enriching the local and global knowledge landscape, and
reinforcing the presence of Arabic as a key pillar in shaping identity and fostering sustainable
creativity.”
