The Mayor of Vienna, Michael Haeupl, gives Gold Medal to Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber

mbi_haeupl.jpg On February 17th, at the beautiful and historic City Hall, Michael Haeupl, the Mayor of Vienna, presented MBI Al Jaber with a Gold Medal of honour for his special achievements in the economic and cross-cultural educational sectors of the city.

In addition to outlining MBI Al Jaber's contribution to the city in the realm of business, including his famous hotels, Mr. Haeupl pointed out the numerous educational initiatives of MBI Al Jaber and his MBI Al Jaber Foundation, which contributes to a better understanding between people of the Middle East and the rest of the World, especially with Europe.

In Vienna, the Foundation supports Arab students to study at Modul University Vienna as part of its scholarship programmes, and MBI Al Jaber personally has also provided scholarships to young Austrian citizens of Vienna allowing them to study in the international atmosphere of MODUL.

MBI Al Jaber Foundation

The MBI Al Jaber Foundation was born from Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber's desire to promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world, especially in Europe but also with the USA and elsewhere.

We believe that better understanding will be achieved through education and an awareness of and respect for each others’ cultures.
