RIYADH — The 8th edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) will be held at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh on October 29 - 31, 2024. The event, with the theme “Infinite Horizons: Investing Today, Shaping Tomorrow,” will be held under the patronage of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman.

FII8 is expected to draw 6,000 delegates, with 500 speakers addressing timely topics in more than 200 sessions. The FII deliberations would focus on how investment can drive a prosperous and sustainable future, expanding the limits of what is possible for humanity.

Chief Executive Officer and board Member of the FII Institute Richard Attias emphasized the significance of the theme, saying: “Our theme, Infinite Horizons, points to the limitless prospects that the future offers and how, collectively, we can take advantage of the changes happening under our feet to create a better world. Infinite Horizons will drive conversations leading to a future where investment knows no bounds for the good of all.”

Global leaders, including heads of state, industry captains, financiers, and thought leaders, will gather to discuss topics such as the economic role of Global South countries, the role of women in leadership, climate change, economic challenges, investment, and harnessing technology to ensure human flourishing.

Discussions will also cover economic stability, equitable development, artificial intelligence, innovation, health, and geopolitics. As in previous years, the conversations will be driven by data, prioritizing objective insights over subjective opinions.
