With nearly 123 million people displaced globally, the world is witnessing unprecedented levels of displacement. This crisis has left generations without access to education. Currently, only 9% of refugees worldwide have access to higher education. In response, Brand Me Summit 2025 has announced a collaboration with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, pledging 10% of all proceeds to support refugee education through its initiative, “Aim Higher.” The collaboration reflects the summit’s belief that education is the foundation of transformation for individuals, communities, and the world at large.
“This year’s summit is more than an event, it’s a movement to help people aim higher,” said Ghazi Yaman, Co-Founder of Brand Me Summit. “Our theme, ‘Transform from Unknown to Unstoppable,’ isn’t just for attendees. It’s for every person striving for a second chance including refugees rebuilding their lives through education. This is our moment to use personal growth as a force for good.”
Anchored in its sustainability mantra and commitment to global citizenship, (CUD) will be offering 50 full scholarships to 50 refugees, offering them access to higher education and the opportunity to rebuild their futures through knowledge.
Positioned as a downtown engine for entrepreneurship and innovation, CUD is joining forces with Brand Me Summit to launch a university-wide entrepreneurship competition that empowers students to present innovative business ideas. Winning projects will receive funding and incubation support through the CUD Incubator, reinforcing the shared mission of both institutions to nurture young changemakers and transform ideas into impactful ventures.
Professor Karim Chelli, President and Vice Chancellor of CUD, emphasized the University’s unwavering commitment to transforming lives through the power of education: “At Canadian University Dubai, we view education as humanity’s most powerful catalyst for global transformation. When ideas are nurtured within our community and supported with purpose, they grow beyond the classroom to create regional and international impact. The Brand Me Summit is a shining example of this vision, that has evolved into a flagship event inspiring hundreds across the region. We are guided by an unstoppable philosophy: Inspiring Minds. Transforming Lives.
Through our collaboration with the UNHCR and our pledge to dedicate 10 percent of all proceeds to refugee education under the Aim Higher initiative, we reaffirm our belief that education has no borders.
