2021 Summits


To further the agenda of stimulating improved access to and quality of education, Brains Global presents its highly acclaimed programme of events in 2021 in Africa and the Middle East.

MENA Innovation 2021, Morocco

MENA Innovation 2021 will take place in Rabat under the official patronage of His Excellency Dr Saïd Amzazi, the Moroccan Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research. As well as the Ministry of National Education, the government will be ensuring the participation of key officials from the ministries for employment and for digital economy and from key stakeholders including the leading Moroccan universities.

H.E. Dr Saïd Amzazi will personally invite the ministers of education, higher education and ICT from all the Middle Eastern and North African countries. This follows on from the highly productive MENA Innovation summit of 2019 in Oman that included 22 ministers leading delegations of over 250 senior government officials.

“The conference was interesting and timely. Thanks to your close follow up and organization, our time in Oman was well-planned, enjoyable, and beneficial. We are certainly looking forward to taking part in next year’s MENA Innovation.”
