Doha, Qatar: Qatar Foundation (QF) has launched BilAraby – an initiative designed to empower and amplify the voices of Arabic speakers across the world, and their inspiring and innovative ideas.

BilAraby aims to attract and nurture both local and global Arabic-speaking talents, providing them with opportunities to create meaningful and innovative content. Its launch reflects Qatar Foundation’s ongoing commitment to nurturing ideas, experiences, and stories that inspire others and drives positive social transformation within Arab societies and on a global scale.

Launched under the slogan ‘Ideas have a voice and an echo’, BilAraby will host regional events throughout the year, concluding with an annual summit that will offer a speaking platform for thought leaders, creators, and innovators to share their ideas and drive positive change.

Applications for speakers at BilAraby’s 2025 Doha summit are now open, and those interested can apply by submitting a five-minute video summarizing their profile, the idea they want to share, and its significance by December 30, 2024, at https://form.jotform.com/qfdigital/bilaraby.

Executive Director, Strategic Initiatives and Programs at Qatar Foundation Hisham Nourin, said: “Amid the rapid spread of content in other languages compared to Arabic content, we recognized the urgent need to develop a platform that delivers authentic, rich, and high-quality content in the Arabic language, and that reflects QF’s commitment to providing platforms that foster Arab creativity and drive positive social and cultural change.
