The BilAraby initiative brings together voices from across the region to exchange ideas, at a time when Arabic makes up less than 3% of online content, despite its global importance.

A speaker at BilAraby Annual Gathering

I used to struggle with social anxiety and a fear of public speaking, but the BilAraby initiative helped me express myself with confidence and organize my thoughts clearly. I’ve learned so much from the experience.

Salam Katanani

A speaker at BilAraby Annual Gathering

Creating scientific content in Arabic is vital, as many young people today struggle to find the right words to express complex ideas in their own language. By bridging that gap, we’re not just building a stronger scientific vocabulary, we’re paving the way for a new generation of Arab thinkers to share their knowledge and shape the future.
