His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, will honour six distinguished winners of the Great Arab Minds 2024 initiative at a prestigious ceremony on 16 January at the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

As the largest initiative of its kind in the Arab world, the Great Arab Minds programme celebrates exceptional contributions made by Arabs across various disciplines. This year’s winners have excelled in fields ranging from medicine and natural sciences to architecture and the arts, showcasing their influence and leadership on a global scale.

The six honourees include Professor Oussama Khatib for Engineering and Technology, Artist Dia Al-Azzawi for Literature and the Arts, Professor Omar Yaghi for Natural Sciences, Professor Yasmine Belkaid for Medicine, Engineer Sahel Al-Hiyari for Architecture and Design, and Professor Yacine Aït-Sahalia for Economics. Their groundbreaking achievements have advanced humanity while inspiring future generations across the Arab world.

The ceremony will bring together scientists, academics, diplomats, and other high-ranking officials, along with the winners’ families, colleagues, and prominent media representatives.

Significantly, the event will be hosted at the Museum of the Future, which serves as the official headquarters of the Great Arab Minds initiative. The Museum, a hub for innovation and knowledge, also houses a permanent research centre inaugurated in January 2024 to support the initiative’s mission of fostering intellectual and creative excellence in the region.

This award not only highlights the achievements of Arab innovators but also reinforces Dubai’s commitment to nurturing talent and driving global progress.
