About the Initiative
The Al-Khawarizmi Tour connects global experts with Arab talent in HPC and AI, inspiring innovation and empowering the next generation to shape the digital future.
Our Mission
The Al-Khawarizmi Tour bridges global excellence and local potential in High Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By connecting world experts with emerging Arab communities through seminars, dialogues, and networking, it empowers students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers to embrace transformative technologies, drive innovation, and build sustainable knowledge ecosystems.
The Tour inspires the next generation to contribute actively to the digital economy and global scientific progress.
Our Vision
We envision the Arab world’s workforce as a global contributor in AI and HPC [1]. By sparking curiosity, inspiring youth, and linking local talent with international leadership, the Al-Khawarizmi Tour accelerates the region’s path toward innovation, entrepreneurship, and scientific discovery. Named after Al-Khawarizmi—the father of algebra and algorithms—the initiative connects the region’s historic ingenuity with its future role in global technology, reminding new generations to carry this legacy forward.
