The tenth Future Investment Initiative, FII10, runs October 26 to 29 in Riyadh under the patronage of King Salman. The theme is The Power of Legacy, fitting for the conference’s tenth year.
FII has become Wall Street’s annual trip to the Gulf. Announced speakers include Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzman, David Solomon, Ray Dalio, Ruth Porat and Dina Powell McCormick. Sovereign capital, led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, sits across the table.
The FII Institute says the event has helped facilitate more than $250 billion in investments and initiatives since it started, and it now has more than 45 strategic partners. Big deals, fund launches and partnership announcements tend to land during the week.
If you want to understand how Gulf money is being deployed into AI, infrastructure and global asset managers, Riyadh in late October is where you’ll see it happen.
