On April 20, 2024, Takreem America will host its annual awards ceremony and the TakMinds Forum, a platform for solutions-oriented conversations, in Boston, MA. Takreem Foundation was founded by Ricardo Karam in 2009 to honor outstanding Arabs across the world and propel them onto the global stage. Takreem America, founded in 2019 as an off-shoot of the Beirut-based Takreem Foundation, focuses specifically on the achievements, innovations and successes of Arab Americans and, in doing so, works to dispel misconceptions about Arab communities.
Spotlighting Arab Excellence Worldwide
With awards across a range of categories, including Environmental Development and Sustainability, Excellence in Education, Cultural Excellence, Young Entrepreneurship, Scientific and Technological Achievement and Outstanding Arab Woman, Takreem Foundation and Takreem America introduce global audiences to a selection of the brightest, most fearless Arab minds working today.
