The integration of youth and localisation of knowledge in the Arab World is a vital issue for the present and the future. In addressing this issue, the 2014 Arab Knowledge Report offers a pivotal step in the journey towards establishing the knowledge society, in which the youth are the main pillar. It is a quest to enable the youth in the Arab Region to actively participate in achieving sustainable development in their countries through the wide horizons of the knowledge society.

The Arab Knowledge Report 2014 also included a case study of youth and localisation of knowledge in the United Arab Emirates.
