Kezana at BRISMES 2025 | 1–3 July – Newcastle University, UK

We’re excited to be represented at this year’s BRISMES (British Society for Middle Eastern Studies) conference by Shauna Hallmark from Folio Partners.

Shauna will be engaging with delegates throughout the event to showcase Kezana’s innovative, AI-enhanced platforms:

🔹 Al Manhal – The most comprehensive multilingual platform for authentic, peer-reviewed Arabic-language research in Middle East and Islamic Studies.
With access to over 500,000 full-text publications—including eBooks, journals, reports, theses, videos, and more—Al Manhal is now powered by the Al Manhal AI Assistant, delivering contextual, intelligent responses based solely on trusted academic sources.
Trained on 100,000+ scholarly works from the Middle East region, it breaks down language barriers and enables faster, more personalized research experiences.
🔹 Abhathi – Our standalone AI-powered research platform built to help institutions organize, enrich, and showcase their academic output. Using natural language processing and machine learning, Abhathi boosts discoverability, multilingual classification, and global visibility for institutional research.

If you're attending BRISMES 2025, don’t miss the chance to meet Shauna and learn how Kezana is transforming access to Arabic and Middle Eastern research through AI-driven innovation.

A Full House and a Powerful Conversation on the Future of Healthcare!

What an incredible turnout this morning at the Dubai AI Forum! The room was filled to capacity as our Chief Strategy Officer, Rany Al Baghdadi, took the stage to speak on “AI Revolution in Healthcare: Advancing Research, Clinical Innovation, and Education.”

As part of the Dubai AI Festival, Rany’s session sparked meaningful dialogue on how AI—particularly specialized language models—can revolutionize healthcare by unlocking the full potential of years of research, powering smarter clinical decision-making, and improving knowledge access for medical professionals and institutions.

The energy in the room was electric, and the enthusiasm for AI-driven transformation in healthcare was palpable. We were thrilled to share how Kezana is helping institutions across the Middle East and North Africa build AI-ready research infrastructure through platforms like Abhathi and Al Manhal—turning fragmented knowledge into accessible, actionable intelligence.

A huge thank you to the Dubai Health Authority for hosting such a forward-thinking event, and to all the brilliant minds who joined us this morning. The future of medicine is here—and we’re just getting started.
