Honoris Shapes AI Skills Dialogue at the 2025 FMIA

25 November 2025 Honoris United Universities, represented by Asmaa Fenniri, Senior Director of Digital Marketing and Innovation, took an active role at the 2025 Forum Méditerranéen de l’Intelligence Artificielle (FMIA), a key regional gathering focused on how artificial intelligence can drive inclusive and sustainable development across the Mediterranean.

FMIA brings together leaders from higher education, business, government, civil society, and the innovation ecosystem to showcase concrete AI use cases and strengthen Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. The forum positions AI not only as a technological shift but as a strategic lever for employability, socio-economic development, and reduced inequalities.

Asmaa Fenniri moderated a high-level panel on “AI and Employment: Rethinking Skills for Future Generations.” She opened with insights from the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 report, highlighting that 86% of companies expect AI to transform their operations and that 39% of current skills will be obsolete by 2030. Panelists discussed priority AI skills for the next 12–18 months, how universities and employers can integrate AI alongside workers, and which programs can scale across the region.

Asmaa also contributed to the AI and Education Experts Track, which presented a roadmap for structured Mediterranean collaboration on AI in education ahead of the next FMIA edition in Marseille in 2026.
