McGraw Hill Announces Knowledge Partner Status at EDGEx Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Future of Education
McGraw Hill is proud to serve as a Knowledge Partner at EDGEx, one of the flagship exhibitions taking place during Human Capabilities & Learning Week in Riyadh. This major national initiative includes the second Human Capability Initiative (HCI) Conference and is held under the umbrella of the Human Capability Development Program (HCDP) in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
From April 13–16, 2025, EDGEx will convene global education leaders, policymakers, and innovators to explore the future of learning and human development.

McGraw Hill’s participation reflects our commitment to contributing meaningful insights to these critical conversations.
