Mission Statement

Why Mada Edge ?

  • To lead challenges related to Arabic language processing research projects that support the ecosystem of Mada Innovation Program.
  • Drives the research, experimentation, and partnerships program, which is constructed to generate knowledge and data in the Arabic language where there are gaps in the community’s evidence base and share that knowledge with the sector so we can be more effective.
  • Research is core to Mada Edge’s goal of finding and highlighting evidence of what works (and what doesn’t) in digital accessibility and Assistive Technologies in Arabic language.
