Sir Naim Eliahou Dangoor, CBE (Arabic: نعيم إلياهو دنكور; 17 April 1914 – 19 November 2015) was a British-Iraqi entrepreneur and philanthropist known for his business ventures.

[4] Initially on leaving the army he had hoped to become an engineer on the railways, but due to restrictions imposed upon Jews this was not possible, so he and Ahmed, a Muslim, decided to go into business together, setting up Eastern Industries in 1949.

Later, the program’s goal expended and were defined as to open horizons to learn more about other religions, and to serve as a bridge to East Asian beliefs and traditions.

After 10 fruitful years of activity the program developed into a cultural diplomacy and educational center: "The Sir Naim Dangoor Centre for Universal monotheism".

[citation needed] The primary aim of the Sir Naim Dangoor Centre for Universal Monotheism (מרכז דת-עולם ע”ש סר נעים דנגור) is to return the humanities to its place as a connector between worlds and to act as an intercultural mediator.

It operates as an inter-religious and inter-cultural mediator in a variety of fields of knowledge and interest shared by all peoples and cultures, heritages and traditions from the West and East.

These were awarded to four thousand undergraduate students, with limited means, studying STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.

[24] Dangoor Walk, a pathway that runs beside the Francis Crick Institute and links Midland Road with Ossulton Street, is named after him.

Through his foundation Dangoor promoted the idea of 'Universal Monotheism' a concept that he believes can bring about unity and create a framework for a global religious ethic.

[26] In Nanjing he funded scholarships for the university's Jewish Studies Institute and sponsored an international symposium on monotheism, attended by delegates from all over China, the US, Australia and Israel.
