The summit will bridge innovation and identity to reimagine education for humanity The 12 th  edition of WISE will convene this year on 24-25 November bringing together global education leaders, experts and changemakers at the Qatar National Convention Centre under the theme “ Humanity.io : Human Values at the Heart of Education”. Registration to the summit is open at https://www.wise-qatar.org/wise-12/ .   WISE 12 will aim to advance conversations around education and its role in serving humanity, while exploring how bold, system-level changes rooted in human values can keep education adaptable, accessible, and relevant in the age of emerging technologies, with the ‘.io’ in the summit theme, standing for Input and Output, serving as a symbolic bridge between innovation and identity.   WISE 12 is structured around five interconnected pillars: the first is ‘Putting Human Needs at the Heart of Education’ that calls for a redefinition of success in learning centered around well-being, empathy, and human dignity as the foundation of educational systems. The second, ‘Realizing the Promise of Progressive Education’, challenges traditional models by championing inquiry-based, flexible approaches that empower learners to think critically and act creatively within their communities. The third pillar, ‘Navigating the Skills Revolution in Higher Education and Lifelong Learning’, examines how institutions can remain relevant in a world where technology reshapes both work and identity, emphasizing adaptability and continuous reskilling. The fourth, ‘Catalyzing Multi-Sectoral Systems Change to Transform Education’ explores how governments, educators, innovators, and the private sector can collaborate to build inclusive and future-ready education ecosystems. The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation will host the fifth pillar, ‘Centering Education towards Economic Opportunities and Community Resilience’. This pillar explores the role of education as a driving force for sustainable economic growth and community resilience. It highlights how inclusive, quality education systems, when meaningfully linked to economic and social development, can empower individuals and strengthen communities. “WISE 12 builds on two years of dialogue and discovery that began with the previous summit – a journey that has taken us across regions, perspectives, and lived realities,” said Stavros N. Yiannouka, CEO of WISE.   “As the world stands at the crossroads of technological acceleration and human aspiration, WISE 12 is where those global conversations combine. ‘ Humanity.io ’ is a call to design an education ecosystem where innovation amplifies human potential rather than replaces it. At this defining juncture, the summit shall bring together voices from all around the world to chart a collective vision for education that is equitable, ethical, and future-ready,” he said.   A defining moment of the summit will be the announcement of the 2025 WISE Prize for Education winner. This year’s finalists represent work in areas such as Arabic language access, education in conflict zones, neurodiversity, and systemic reform. The finalists will have a prominent presence throughout the summit, while the final winner will be revealed at the Closing Plenary on 25 November, highlighting the summit’s ambition and reach.   The six finalists for the 2025 WISE Prize for Education are: AprendoEnCasa Connecta, an initiative from Chile, that enhances teacher–student engagement through digital tools to improve learning outcomes in under-resourced communities across Latin America; Qatar’s Bonocle that transforms Braille learning through gamified tactile technology that expands access for the visually impaired; U.S.-based Darsel that leverages AI and messaging platforms to deliver personalized math learning to students in low-connectivity environments; and Nigeria’s FastTrack+ that enables foundational literacy through offline, self-assisted tools designed for remote and refugee learners; Jordan’s Iqrali.jo that empowers parents to nurture early Arabic literacy through free regional resources and community support, and finally Armenia’s TUMO Path that reimagines teen education through an AI-driven personalized learning experience already reaching youth across multiple countries.   Since its founding in 2009, WISE has become a global platform for education innovation and cross-sector collaboration. Through its summit, edtech accelerator, and research, it champions education as a human-centered force for unlocking potential in a tech-driven world.   For more information about the WISE Summit, please visit   wise-qatar.org . #QatarFoundation

Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s leading sustainable developer, has been recognised with two international awards at the 2025 Green Apple Awards. The UK-based Green Organisation named the Qatari developer a winner for the ‘Beautiful Buildings’ award, specifically for the Msheireb Mosque, and the ‘Environment Best Practice – Built Environment’ award for its Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD) development.   The Green Apple Awards, established in 1994, are a major global campaign that acknowledges and promotes the best environmental practices from companies, institutions, and communities all around the world. Achieving this landmark achievement marks a successful title defence for Msheireb Properties, which won the Green Apple Award for Beautiful Buildings in 2024 for its "Transforming Doha's Heritage Houses" project.  This repeat recognition places the company among the few organisations globally to be honoured across consecutive years for different projects.   Commenting on the achievement, Eng. Ali Al Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Msheireb Properties, said: “We are privileged to receive recognition in two categories at the esteemed Green Apple Awards. The Msheireb Mosque serves as a symbol of spiritual peace and architectural beauty, while Msheireb Downtown Doha validates that environmental responsibility and urban development can, and must, go hand-in-hand.”   “These accolades recognise Msheireb Properties alongside all those who believed in our mission to set a new global standard for sustainable and culturally sensitive urban regeneration. Winning in two categories this year underscores that our projects are both culturally and architecturally important but also exemplars of environmental best practice.”   Moreover, these awards distinguish Msheireb Downtown Doha as a notable international case study in sustainable city design. The project moves beyond being a collection of buildings to become a working model for future urban development that prioritises environmental stewardship alongside cultural heritage.   Selected from over 700 entries worldwide, Msheireb Properties will be honoured at a prestigious ceremony in the House of Lords, London, on 17 November.   The ‘Beautiful Buildings’ award for the Msheireb Mosque celebrates its architectural design, which thoughtfully combines traditional Qatari Islamic architecture with modern elements The mosque serves as a place of worship while also functioning as a community landmark and a serene oasis within the urban fabric of MDD. Notably, it is also recognised as the world’s first standalone mosque to receive LEED Gold certification.   Meanwhile, the Environment Best Practice – Built Environment Award highlights the scale and innovation of Msheireb Downtown Doha. Regarded as the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project, MDD applies a wide range of smart city and green building strategies. It incorporates district cooling, greywater recycling, solar energy integration, shaded pedestrian networks, and traffic management systems designed to reduce emissions.   Rooted in the ‘Seven Principles’, Msheireb’s architectural language emerged from a three-year collaboration between leading architects, academics, and urban planners. These principles establish a forward-looking framework for Qatar’s architectural development, uniting the spirit and aesthetics of traditional Qatari design with sustainable practices and modern technology.   The Green Apple Awards are judged by an independent panel of environmental specialists, who review entries based on innovation, measurable outcomes, and transferability of best practice. Winners are showcased as examples to encourage further progress in the global environmental movement. #MsheirebProperties

Xu emphasized: “The future doesn’t just happen. We create it, together.”   Central to this vision is the concept of co-creation. OMODA has engaged over 10,000 users worldwide to deeply understand their needs—where function meets emotion. Function stems from design, tech, and features; emotion is fueled by user interaction and lifestyle integration. This philosophy ensures every OMODA vehicle is a true product of shared vision.   A standout moment of the night was the world premiere of the OMODA 4 ULTRA, a bold new model inspired by the Cyber Mecha design concept.

Other models, like the J7 SHS, boast exceptional range, efficiency, and power, making hybrid driving enjoyable and accessible. Xu noted: “Our Super Hybrid technology makes driving easy, powerful, and fun, while meeting real user needs.”   OMODA DAY also featured immersive experience zones, where attendees explored intelligent driving, in-car tech, and lifestyle ecosystems. Global user reps showcased their Dream Mecha designs—merging technology, art, and personality.   A major highlight was the O4 Global Co-Creation Platform, inviting users to submit ideas and customize features, directly shaping the next-gen mobility ecosystem. Last year, over 1,000 users contributed to the OMODA 7. This year, the goal is 10,000+ Co-creation Officers for the O4.   Capping off the night, an energetic After Party brought OMODA’s youthful spirit to life—with roller shows, dance battles, parkour, and DJ sets.   OMODA DREAM DAY 2025 was more than a product launch—it was a tribute to co-creation, innovation, and youth culture, showing that the O4 ULTRA isn’t just a car—it’s your Dream Car. Always bold. Always unique. Forever young.   Customers are invited to visit the OMODA&JAECOO showroom at Barwa Commercial Avenue, and soon at our upcoming location in Lusail, to explore the exciting OMODA lineup in Qatar.   For more information or to book your test drive, please call 8001115. #OMODA
