FII’s Flagship Forum Kicks Off in Riyadh

Preparations underway in Riyadh for the Future Investment Initiative forum, which kicks off on Tuesday (Asharq Al-Awsat)

Financial and investment leaders from around the world have gathered in Riyadh for the annual Future Investment Initiative (FII) forum, which will shed light on topics of international concern.

More than 6,000 global business chiefs, policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs will participate in the event themed “Investing in Humanity: Enabling a New Global Order.”

Over three days, with more than 500 international speakers, the conference will host 180 sessions by global leaders from different sectors. These sessions will address the most pressing economic questions of our time to shape the future of the global economy.

The FII forum has gained momentum from its international presence in its past editions, which contributed to the formation of many ideas and solutions to the challenges the world is currently facing.

The first day will feature a discussion by a group of Nobel laureates which will try to find sustainable solutions for meeting the global population's basic needs.

Sessions at the forum will talk about the challenges brought on by the new global order, as well as the opportunities that arise from it, such as creating an economic system that improves the quality of life for citizens around the world.

In addition, the first summit at the conference will be held on the first day under the theme “Clash of Generations.”

It is expected that the forum, taking place from Oct. 25-27 in Riyadh, will witness the announcement of agreements and partnerships.

This international gathering in the Saudi capital comes at a time when the world is witnessing many challenges.

“Our way to the New Global Order is filled with unprecedented challenges, which is why the timing and theme of this year's FII is of upmost importance and relevance,” commented Richard Attias, CEO of the FII Institute.

“In its 6th Edition, FII focuses on Investing in Humanity – a call to action that is desperately needed in a time in which supply shocks, inflation, a global energy crisis, and geopolitical conflicts present deep challenges,” he added.
