In the age of AI, upskilling isn't just a strategy, it’s survival. 🤖

Our CTO, Mark, shares why "playing around" with AI isn't enough. The gap between AI failure and success? Deep, contextual knowledge.

Don't just adopt AI... master it. 🚀

The next global tech hub won’t be defined by infrastructure.
It will be defined by talent.

At Manara, we believe MENA has the potential to become a global source of world-class engineers not just a market for technology.

In this video, our CEO Amr ElSeloukey shares how we’re building the systems, partnerships, and pipelines to make that shift real.

From anticipating future roles to enabling rapid adoption, our mission is simple:
turn opportunity into capability at scale.

[Manara @TeamManara]

At Manara, we have been working with partners across MENA to build real technology capability on the ground.

Not as a concept that lives in decks.
Not as a trend that fades with the next cycle.
And not through content that informs but never transforms.

But through structured, applied learning, the kind that turns knowledge into real capability.

Because the gap is not access to information.
It is what you do with it.

This is a closer look at how that actually happens.

This is just the beginning.

We are thrilled to announce that Yasser Alsaied is joining Manara as an adviser!

Yasser is a preeminent leader in tech who specializes in leading massive transformations–whether through inventing new technologies, building partnerships across US/Asia/Middle East, or leading teams to be bolder & more innovative.

Until recently, Yasser was a VP at AWS where he was the executive sponsor for the expansion into KSA, Oman and UAE. As a person with roots in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Syria, he is a big believer in the massive growth this region will be leading in the coming decade.

Welcome to the Manara family, Yasser! We’re thrilled to have the chance to engage you even more closely

A flywheel is a simple idea.
It’s a cycle where each step makes the next one stronger, building momentum over time.

- Technology adoption works the same way.
- People discover technology.
- They learn how it works.
- They start building with it.
- They apply it in real-world use cases.

And as they create value, they bring others into the ecosystem.

That’s the flywheel.

At Manara, we design programs and communities around this model, not as isolated initiatives, but as a continuous system that moves people from awareness to real capability and adoption.

Because sustainable technology adoption is not driven by tools alone.
It is driven by people, momentum, and ecosystems that keep growing.

Digital transformation isn’t only about infrastructure and software.

Long-term success depends on something else:
• Talent readiness
• User enablement
• Real adoption

Technology alone doesn’t transform organizations.

People do✅️

That’s why talent enablement is a strategic layer of digital transformation.
At Manara, we help organizations activate that layer.

AI upskilling shouldn’t be driven by urgency.

In response to recent discussions, our CEO Amr El Selouky highlights a key point: effective upskilling starts with clarity, understanding real use cases, real constraints, and the capabilities that need to be built.

AI readiness is not only about systems.

It’s about people.

AI is no longer just a technical conversation.

As Abdelrahman Ayman, VP of Commercial at Manara, shares, real AI readiness is not only about systems or data centers.

The most critical infrastructure is people.

Building human capability is how the region prepares for the age of AI.

Learning should start with the learner.

Before we design anything, we ask:
- What do they know?
- Where are we taking them?
- What capability are we building?

AI shouldn’t just be explained. It should be experienced.
Real learning builds capability, not just awareness.

From learning AWS to building solutions in a real hackathon environment 🇸🇦

One of our learners in Saudi Arabia joined our AWS program with a goal: to build practical cloud skills she could actually use not just understand, not just complete.

At our Saudi Hackathon, she stepped into a real ecosystem that pushes you forward.

Together with Amazon Web Services (AWS), we’re not just running courses. We’re building execution-ready talent across Saudi Arabia and stories like that are just the beginning.

Beyond the announcement, it was about the conversations, the alignment, and the shared commitment to building real AI capability where it matters most.

أعلنت شركة @scale_AI عن إطلاق برنامج ALIF، وهو برنامج لتطوير مهارات الذكاء الاصطناعي يهدف إلى تعزيز جاهزية تبنّي الذكاء الاصطناعي بشكل مسؤول داخل مؤسسات القطاع العام. ويساهم البرنامج في توسيع الوصول إلى تعليم عالي الجودة في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي باللغة العربية، لدعم الكوادر الحكومية في بناء قدرات عملية في هذا المجال.

وكجزء من التزام @scale_AI الأوسع بتطوير أنظمة ذكاء اصطناعي موثوقة لدعم أهم القرارات المؤسسية، يركّز برنامج ALIF على بناء قدرات مؤسسية عملية في الذكاء الاصطناعي، من خلال تزويد فرق العمل الحكومية بفهم أساسي يمكنهم ترجمته إلى تحسين جودة اتخاذ القرار، ورفع كفاءة الخدمات، وتعزيز الفاعلية التشغيلية.

وقد دخلت @scale_AI في شراكة مع Manara كشريك تعليمي لبرنامج ALIF، مستفيدةً من خبرة Manara في تصميم وتنفيذ البرامج التعليمية لضمان أن يكون البرنامج عمليًا، تطبيقيًا، ومتوافقًا مع حالات الاستخدام الواقعية في القطاع العام.

وتمثل هذه المبادرة أول تعاون بين @scale_AI و Manara، وتؤسس لمرحلة من التعاون طويل الأمد تهدف إلى بناء قدرات مستدامة في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي عبر الحكومات والمنظومة الأوسع

@scale_AI announced the launch of ALIF, an AI upskilling program designed to strengthen AI readiness and responsible adoption across public sector institutions. The program expands access to high-quality AI education, supporting government professionals in building practical AI capability.

As part of Scale’s broader commitment to developing reliable AI systems for the world’s most important decisions, ALIF focuses on building practical, institutional AI capability, equipping organization teams with foundational understanding they can translate into better decision-making, improved service delivery, and stronger operational efficiency.

@scale_AI AI partnered with Manara as the Learning Partner for ALIF, leveraging Manara’s expertise in learning design and delivery to ensure the program is hands-on, applied, and aligned with real-world public sector use cases.

This initiative marks the first collaboration between @scale_AI and Manara and lays the foundation for long-term cooperation focused on building sustainable AI capability across governments and the wider ecosystem.

Ali El Desoky, Head of Programs at Manara, led a workshop at #RISEUPSummit2026 titled

AI for Everyone: Foundational Concepts or Choosing the Right AI Model for Your Use Case.
What stood out:
• Hands on exploration
• Real questions and use cases
• Less theory, more clarity

This is how we think learning should work at Manara.

[Manara @TeamManara]

Not everything that matters happens on stage.

The real value was in the conversations, the listening, and how people showed up.

Grateful to be part of it.
