This study aimed to clarify the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the smart transformation of Yemeni universities, considering the mediating role of knowledge management. The research method is correlational, and in terms of purpose, it is an applied study. The statistical population of the research included all presidents and experts of Yemeni universities, and the statistical sample consisted of 256 individuals selected randomly. For data collection tools, a standard ICT questionnaire and a knowledge management questionnaire were used. To measure the various components of organizational intelligence, questionnaires for strategic intelligence, emotional intelligence, environmental intelligence, competitive intelligence, organizational intelligence, and structural intelligence were utilized. For data analysis, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) utilizing a variance-based approach via PLS software was employed. The research results confirmed that the greatest impact was related to the relationship between knowledge management and the smart organization. Furthermore, ICT had a relatively high impact on knowledge management, and a moderate impact on the smart organization. Moreover, ICT, through knowledge management, had a positive and significant impact on the smart organization. It is recommended that presidents of public and private universities in Yemen establish suitable ICT infrastructure and successfully implement knowledge management in order to make their universities smart.
