Dr. Noha Said
Founder & President, EduNext AI
Chair, Global Advisory Council
Inspired by the opportunities created through Dr. Noha Said’s 2025 IVLP Impact Award from the U.S. Department of State, EduNext AI was established with a simple yet ambitious purpose: to prepare educators not only to understand artificial intelligence, but to confidently lead educational transformation in an AI-enabled world.
EduNext AI recognizes that the future of education will be shaped not by technology alone, but by educators equipped with the vision, systems thinking, innovation mindset, and entrepreneurial leadership needed to create meaningful and lasting impact.
This philosophy forms the foundation of the EduNext AI educational model, which integrates four interconnected pillars:
• Artificial Intelligence
• Systems Thinking
• Innovation
• Entrepreneurial Leadership
Together, these pillars empower educators to move beyond adopting emerging technologies toward reimagining learning, strengthening institutions, and preparing future generations for an increasingly complex world.
Since its inception, EduNext AI has evolved into a global education innovation ecosystem that connects educators, researchers, academic leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and institutional partners across countries and disciplines.
Through international dialogue, professional learning, collaborative innovation, knowledge exchange, and strategic partnerships, the ecosystem fosters an environment where ideas become practice, collaboration becomes impact, and innovation becomes a shared responsibility.
As Chair of the Global Advisory Council, Dr. Noha Said works in partnership with an exceptional community of internationally respected university presidents, academic leaders, researchers, policymakers, and industry experts whose collective perspectives help inform the strategic direction, international collaboration, and continued growth of EduNext AI.
Together, they represent a shared commitment to preparing education for the opportunities and challenges of the AI era.
At its heart, EduNext AI is more than an organization. It is a collaborative ecosystem where diverse expertise, international perspectives, and shared purpose converge to empower educators and inspire educational transformation across borders.
