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 programmes 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.
