RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 2025- The 9th edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) will be held from October 27 to 30, 2025, at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh. This invitation-only conference will convene international investors, innovators, and policymakers under the theme 'The Key to Prosperity,' exploring investment strategies and innovations to drive sustainable growth in today's complex global landscape. FII9 will address the paradoxes that stand in the way of progress: 'innovation fragmentation', how technological and policy advancements drive growth yet create unintended challenges; how breakthroughs in AI and emerging technologies open opportunities while presenting regulatory and ethical hurdles; and how global connectivity is hampered by geopolitical tensions and resource disparities. Richard Attias, Chairman of the FII Institute Executive Committee, said: 'Our theme, 'The Key to Prosperity,' acknowledges the complexity of today's global challenges and points to opportunities to create a positive impact for humanity. FII9 is the place for new thinking, strategic conversations, and forging partnerships in the cause of prosperity and progress.' The conference begins on October 27 with exclusive, invitation-only conclaves, bringing together top investors, CEOs, and policymakers for candid discussions in a confidential setting. On October 28 and 29, the main conference will host a variety of sessions on AI and robotics' impact on productivity, wealth creation amid rising inequality, geopolitical effects of resource scarcity, demographic shifts shaping future workforces, and strategies to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability. The conference concludes on October 30 with Investment Day, dedicated to high-impact deal-making, networking, showcasing next-generation technologies, and exploring venture strategies. Additional programming, including specialized workshops and networking events, will be announced closer to the event. FII9 will bring together over 7,500 delegates and 600 prominent speakers across 250 interactive sessions.

FII9 to convene global leaders in Riyadh to redefine investment in an era of paradox
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute has announced the agenda for the 9th edition of its flagship forum, FII9, set to take place in Riyadh from October 28 to 30, 2025. The three-day summit will bring together world leaders, investors, policymakers, and innovators to explore critical questions defining the global investment landscape under the theme: 'Prosperity in a world of paradox.' FII9 aims to tackle the rising tensions between growth and sustainability, innovation and regulation, fragmentation and cooperation — urging stakeholders to view these challenges as opportunities. With sessions organized around themes such as Innovation vs Constraints, Fragmentation vs Connectivity, and Progress vs Consequences, the summit promises actionable strategies to build inclusive and sustainable prosperity. The event's structure includes plenary sessions, private conclaves, and innovation-focused labs, hosted at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center (KAICC) and the Ritz-Carlton. October 28 and 29 will feature global dialogues, while October 30 will focus on Investment Day, spotlighting major deal-making and venture showcases. This year's discussions will address pressing topics including the productivity paradox of AI, critical resource geopolitics, urban resilience, energy uncertainty, and financial fragmentation. High-interest sessions will explore the future of semiconductors as a national security issue, public-private infrastructure reinvention, and the next generation of mobility, tourism, and IPO pipelines. Since its inception, FII has been a launchpad for transformational deals, with over $200 billion worth of agreements announced at past editions. The 2025 summit continues that momentum, inviting attendees to shape the global economy through investment and innovation. FII9 will also spotlight the FII Venture Program, which supports impact-driven startups by connecting them with investors, corporations, and global institutions. The initiative aims to accelerate real-world solutions powered by disruptive technologies. CEO of the FII Institute, Penny Richards, said: 'FII is where change is sparked. It's not only a space for critical conversations but a platform where real investments and partnerships are born — designed to transform industries and reshape the future economy.'
