FII Institute
The Future Investment Initiative Forum in Riyadh is one of the world’s most forward-looking platforms for global economic dialogue. On October 30, our CEO, Nawaf Altwejri, had the honor of attending, following a personal invitation from His Excellency Yasir Al Rumayyan, Governor of the Public Investment Fund.
The event brought together heads of sovereign funds, global CEOs, and innovators across sectors to exchange perspectives on the forces shaping the next era of growth. In a private conversation with His Excellency, our CEO explored the impact of Vision 2030 and Saudi Arabia’s positioning as a new global investment hub. The message was clear: real transformation requires long-term strategy, ambition, and alignment with global progress.
The future belongs to those who invest not only in capital, but in vision, collaboration, and purpose.
Throughout the day, our CEO engaged in valuable discussions with world-renowned figures. A conversation with Ray Dalio focused on economic volatility and the shifting balance of global influence. Dalio’s perspective on macro trends offered clarity in the midst of market uncertainty.
Further exchanges with Faisal Al Rumayyan emphasized sustainable investing as a driver of future portfolios. Naif Alrajhi shared insights into regional entrepreneurship and how localized innovation is gaining global relevance. These were not surface-level meetings. They were meaningful dialogues that revealed how capital, innovation, and leadership are evolving together.
The forum’s atmosphere encouraged open exchange. Leaders spoke honestly about the challenges of digital transformation, energy transition, and building trust across borders. For our CEO, these moments sparked new ideas and signaled real potential for strategic partnerships in the near future.
Three themes stood out across every panel and conversation.
Sustainability has moved from trend to necessity. ESG is now embedded in business strategy and is redefining how companies and funds measure long-term success.
Technology is at the center of national planning. Artificial intelligence, smart infrastructure, and fintech are no longer future concepts. They are current realities shaping how countries build and grow.
Global collaboration is essential. In a complex and fast-changing world, trust-based partnerships are the foundation for progress that lasts.
Our CEO’s participation in the FII Forum reflects our commitment to global vision, meaningful relationships, and long-term impact. As Saudi Arabia continues to lead with bold ideas and action, we are proud to contribute to the conversation and the future it is helping to build.
