He further mentioned that the inaugural meeting of the 'Global Alliance for Skills

Development' will take place during the summit along with the introduction of the Future
Skills Academy. Launched as part of the 'Knowledge Project' last year, the academy will

represent a significant milestone in the FutureSkills4All project. It aims to empower Arab

individuals through a range of educational programs that aid in the acquisition of future

skills, significantly improving their professional development and empowering them to

contribute to the region's economic growth and Sustainable Development Goals.

Dr. Hany Torky said: "This year's summit underscores our commitment to supporting

communities in the Arab region in their transition to a more inclusive and sustainable digital

future. The GKI and the Future Skills Academy are essential tools to support individuals

and develop their skills, contributing to building more resilient and sustainable economies."

The summit's agenda features interactive sessions, workshops, and knowledge events that

include the participation of prominent speakers from the fields of AI, technology, economy,

education, environment, and other important realms.

This year, the summit will further address various key topics such as the potential of

human intelligence to innovate advanced technologies, transformations driven by AI,
redefinition of future skills, policies shaping AI-driven economies, AI for prosperity and

fueling economic growth and social change, eco-innovations for a sustainable future,

strengthening cybersecurity, and AI in space exploration, among other related themes.

Furthermore, Coursera, a global learning platform, will hold panel discussions during the
summit. The key focus area of these sessions will be the transition to AI shaping the future

of the education system, including adult education, technical and vocational training, skill-

based learning, and employment and innovation in higher education.
