DUBAI, UAE, October 17, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President
and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP) announced the hosting of the 9th edition of the Knowledge Summit on 18-19 November 2024, at the Dubai World Trade
Center. This year, the event will be organized under the theme ‘Future Skills and AI Economy’.

The summit will pave the way to discuss knowledge and future skills, its challenges, and opportunities to promote international understanding and
exchange of ideas on ways to develop a sustainable knowledge-based economy.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said: “The Knowledge Summit, which we host every year, has been successful in establishing
Dubai as a global hub of innovation and knowledge from which wide-ranging interactive forums are launched to disseminate knowledge, experiences,
and best practices to help societies transition to knowledge-based economies. This contributes to improving the standard of living and mapping out a
sustainable future that prioritizes innovation and cutting-edge technology as a means of achieving growth and prosperity.”

The summit will introduce the ‘Global Knowledge Index 2024,’ which has established itself as an important tool for developing policies and national vision
in recent years, by highlighting the strengths and areas for possible improvement across different knowledge fields such as education, R&D, innovation,
technology, and knowledge-based economy, making it a comprehensive instrument to guide future strategies for sustainable development.

The 3rd UNESCO World OER Congress will be held for the very first time in the Arab World as a part of the summit. The congress is organized by the
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Around 500 ministers, senior officials, and decision-makers from vital
sectors like education, digital services, and communications are set to participate in the congress.
