Dubai Knowledge Fund launches new strategic plan

The Knowledge Fund Establishment in Dubai has launched its Strategic Plan 2023-2025 focused on further enhancing the emirate’s status as a leading hub for knowledge investments in the region.The 2023-25 Strategic Plan’s objectives are guided by its vision statement ‘Leading Investment in Knowledge’ and its mission statement ‘Develop and Maintain a Sustainable Investment Portfolio to Support the Growth of the Knowledge Sector in Dubai’.

The plan is aligned with Dubai’s future growth aspirations and its efforts to drive sustainable economic development, harness talent and foster innovation. The plan revolves around three main themes – investment portfolio sustainability, educational asset allocation and educational initiatives management.

Under the first theme of investment portfolio sustainability, the Knowledge Fund Establishment aims to develop an investment portfolio that helps enhance the sustainability and diversification of investment sources. The investment portfolio will support educational initiatives in the emirate and help develop its educational system.

Under the second theme, educational asset allocation, the Establishment seeks to enhance investment opportunities in the education and knowledge sector and further attract investors from around the world. The establishment seeks to create a compelling value proposition for investments in the emirate’s educational assets, including lands and facilities designated by the government to meet the education sector’s needs and achieve the emirate’s strategic objectives.

Under the third theme of the new strategy, educational initiatives management, the Knowledge Fund Establishment seeks to establish a competitive educational environment that encourages creativity and innovation and enables various segments of the community – including students, parents, and teaching staff – to benefit from the unmatched opportunities offered through the educational initiatives and projects that the Establishment is a part of, including Dubai Schools and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Distinguished Students Programme. The Establishment will play a pivotal role in strengthening the emirate’s attractiveness for education service providers by making it easier for them to take advantage of the government’s initiatives.
