Launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in May 2007, the MBRF has led and implemented pioneering programs aimed at establishing Dubai and the UAE as global hubs for knowledge.
MBRF aims to empower future generations by enabling them to devise sustainable solutions that facilitate knowledge and research development in the Arab World and beyond.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF stated, “The UAE Cabinet, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, adopted the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031. The MBRF is contributing to this strategy with its mission to bring the best possible methods for creating, transferring, and applying knowledge to individuals, teams, organizations, and knowledge-based societies across the world. We have been working with Ron Young since 2016, and we are delighted to now collaborate on creating integrated knowledge and AI-driven management systems. This will help organizations identify and develop critical and core knowledge assets, both human and digital, that can be enhanced through effective knowledge management and artificial intelligence”.
