RIYADH: BlackRock CEO Laurence Fink, Aramco President Amin Nasser, and Public Investment Fund Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan are among the global leaders set to converge in Riyadh next month for the ninth Future Investment Initiative, or FII9.
Scheduled for Oct. 27-30 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center, the Kingdom’s flagship investment summit will bring together more than 600 speakers across 230 sessions, including heads of state, investors, and industry executives, under the theme “The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth.”
According to the Saudi Press Agency, the conference will host more than 15 heads of state, alongside prominent executives, investors, and policymakers at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center.
FII9 seeks to build upon the momentum generated by previous editions, which have established the summit as a key platform for signing landmark agreements. Highlights from FII8 included the launch of a SR1 billion ($267 million) startup fund, Beta Lab, designed to support emerging companies across the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia.
“FII9 is where global leaders align capital with purpose. The Priority Compass ensures our discussions are not abstract, but rooted in the real concerns of people across the world,” said Richard Attias, chairman of the executive committee and acting CEO of FII Institute, as reported by SPA.
