Commenting on the launch of the Summit, His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, Managing Director of MBRF, said: “This year the Knowledge Summit is being organised under the theme, ‘The Way to Innovation’ in line with the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to mark the year 2015 as the Year of Innovation. The event is a unique opportunity that brings together influencers, experts and stakeholders in the knowledge domain to discuss ways to employ innovation in the dissemination and transfer of knowledge in fields such as education, scientific research and information technology.”
HE Bin Huwaireb said the Knowledge Summit 2015 has emerged as one of the biggest international gatherings to promote knowledge on an annual basis, and represents the ideal global platform to discuss ways to strengthen the efforts to build knowledge based sustainable societies and economies. The hosting of the Summit by MBRF reflects the Foundation’s leading position in the field of knowledge development and its dissemination at the local and global level, HE Bin Huwaireb added. Rest
Our goal is the development of a non-oil knowledge economy. As my brother Mohammed bin Zayed said, we will celebrate the last barrel of oil.
