The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Arabiska Bokstavscentret in Sweden. This partnership aims to enhance the quality and quantity of Arabic content available on digital platforms and foster greater engagement with the Arabic language, particularly among Arab youth.

As part of the collaboration, the two entities will work together to promote the annual “Bil Arabi” initiative, hosted by the MBRF, which encourages the use of Arabic across digital spaces. The partnership seeks to highlight the adaptability and richness of the Arabic language and emphasize its value as a language of knowledge, science, and cultural heritage.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, commented, “This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding the presence of the Arabic language online. By collaborating with Arabiska Bokstavscentret, we aim to strengthen the importance of Arabic in modern communication while also showcasing its historical significance.”

Amir Ramadan Sadayo, Founder and Director of Arabiska Bokstavscentret, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are excited to work with MBRF to support Arab youth and promote Arabic content globally. Our shared mission is to ensure that the Arabic language continues to play a key role in cultural and scientific discourse.”

The agreement will also see the development of training workshops and the use of visual communication tools to teach Arabic to non-native speakers. Additionally, it will promote the translation of research into Arabic and organize events under the Bil Arabi initiative. The use of the hashtag #BilArabi across social media will further amplify the initiative’s reach.

This partnership is part of MBRF's broader strategy to expand its global influence, strengthening Arabic knowledge dissemination beyond the Arab world.
