TRENDS Research & Advisory is finalizing preparations for its participation in the Warsaw International Book Fair 2026, one of Eastern Europe’s most prominent cultural and literary events. The Group’s integrated knowledge pavilion will be hosted in the Polish capital at the renowned PGE Narodowy Stadium from May 27 to 31, 2026.

TRENDS’ Global Message

Through its dedicated pavilion, TRENDS Group will showcase its latest publications, strategic analyses, and research studies, reflecting its core vision to support intellectual discourse and promote knowledge-based dialogue on an international scale.

• Empowering Youth: The TRENDS pavilion will host a high-profile youth panel discussion organized by TRENDS Global, titled “Shaping Tomorrow: Young Voices, Global Impact.” The session will bring together young leaders, researchers, and innovators to explore how rising generations can shape public discourse, enrich global culture, and drive international dialogue in a rapidly changing world.
• Strategic Dialogues & Book Launches: The pavilion will feature a series of open dialogues, intellectual forums, and networking sessions aimed at building sustainable partnerships and expanding the Group’s international cooperation network. Notably, the pavilion will host the official launch of the English edition of TRENDS’ breakthrough research publication, the “Muslim Brotherhood International Power Index 2025.” This launch will include an in-depth panel discussion analyzing the index’s indicators and assessing the group’s global influence.

Knowledge Diplomacy

As part of its commitment to knowledge diplomacy, TRENDS’ agenda features a series of strategic institutional visits on the sidelines of the fair. These meetings aim to engage leading Polish research and policy institutions—such as the Casimir Pulaski Foundation and the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM)—to exchange perspectives and explore future collaborative research projects.

Building Knowledge Bridges

Senior Researcher Awadh Al-Breiki, Director General of TRENDS Global, emphasized that participating in the Warsaw International Book Fair 2026 marks a strategic milestone in TRENDS Group’s journey to solidify its presence within the global knowledge and publishing ecosystem, while empowering youth and enhancing their research capabilities.

Al-Breiki pointed out that the selection of the Emirate of Sharjah as the Guest of Honour for this edition provides a premier platform to showcase the depth of Emirati and Arab culture to a broad European audience. He stressed that TRENDS Global views knowledge diplomacy as a fundamental pillar of its international outreach strategy.

“The TRENDS pavilion will be much more than a display of prints and publications; it will serve as a dynamic platform for intellectual dialogue, knowledge exchange, and bridging the gap between East and West, thereby fostering academic and cultural cooperation with leading European institutions.” — Awadh Al-Breiki

Broader Horizons

Rawda Al-Marzouqi, Head of the Exhibitions and Distribution Sector at TRENDS Group, confirmed that this participation represents an important avenue for introducing TRENDS’ intellectual output to the world and opening broader horizons for expertise exchange with major international publishing houses and research centers.

Al-Marzouqi explained that the TRENDS pavilion will feature approximately 450 titles. These publications span a wide spectrum of contemporary issues, ranging from political and economic analyses to strategic forecasting and rapid technological transformations. Crucially, the collection highlights humanitarian and enlightenment dimensions by promoting the values of tolerance, coexistence, countering extremist ideology, and reviving intercultural dialogue.

She added that this rich diversity reflects the depth and originality of TRENDS’ scientific project, embodying its mission to enrich the global cultural and intellectual movement.
