About Youth Knowledge Forum

The Youth Knowledge Forum (YKF) is an initiative organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme. The YKF aims to commend the most prominent global knowledge achievements and motivate knowledge workers, especially the talented and skillful young generation among them, to be creative in developing pathways to convey, disseminate, and localize knowledge around the world. The YKF is a platform to encourage youth to move forward in pursuit of their ambitions in this field, drawing inspiration from the former winners of the MBRKA, their success stories, and their accomplishments that have left an influential impact on the knowledge scene, regionally and globally.
