Mohamed also co-founded a project called Hikma House, centred on using consultation and research as the means to generate social good. It is an Algerian Think Tank that focuses on economics, public policy, industrial strategy, entrepreneurship, and education. It provides strategy and policy advice to government agencies, ministries, educational institutions, and public services organisations in its areas of expertise.
Hikma House also runs a mentoring programme for young people, recent graduates and students. The programme has mentored more than 80 students, through which 68 got admission offers from top universities in Europe, Canada, USA, South Korea, and China, and 40 among them have secured full or partial scholarships and fellowships. It also runs a professional mentorship programme to link recent graduates with careers, and 200 young Algerians have benefited so far.
The policy and mentorship branches of Hikma House are invigorating the education system in Algeria and those within it with the expertise they acquire from their research.
