This agreement was formalized during the fifth annual Knowledge Summit, themed “Youth and the Future of the Knowledge Economy.” The summit served as a global platform, uniting key figures from various fields to discuss, share best practices, and seek solutions to worldwide challenges.
At the summit, Mr. Moataz Al Alfi conducted a session titled “My Experience in Social Responsibility and Supporting Knowledge.” He discussed his three decades of community service, emphasizing the role of social responsibility in nurturing a knowledge-based economy.
