Saudi Arabia unveils Future Investment Initiative 2019 dates

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has announced the program for the third annual Future Investment Initiative (FII), which will take place from Oct. 29-31, 2019 in Riyadh.

This year, FII is expected to bring together decision makers, leading investors and global experts to explore future economic trends and opportunities, shed light on the future of industries, and discuss how investment can continue to drive overall global prosperity and development.

Revolving around the overall theme of ‘what is next for global business?’, the event will focus on three key pillars:-

-Sustainable future - Exploring new innovations and investment models that can support profit, people and planet

-Technology for good - Business and policy frameworks that can guide the future growth of the tech industry

-Advanced society - Cultural and organizational systems that can inspire humanity in the age of machines

Alongside the main program, FII will also host three summits, looking at how changes in business, entertainment and society are driving innovation and creating investment opportunities:-

-Immersive work - How changes in technology, demography and business models are altering the nature of work

-Interactive entertainment - How innovations, globalization and consumer behaviors impact the worlds of sports, leisure and entertainment

-Interconnected society - How governments around the world are attempting to integrate intelligent systems, advanced mobility, new educational models and greater cultural awareness into their cities and communities

As part of FII’s goal to build relationships and encourage in-depth discussion, the event will host 12 cross-sector taskforces, designed to explore emerging business and investment trends and to identify early-stage growth opportunities. 

These taskforces will cover social, energy, climate, technology, healthcare, data, transportation, food, tourism, sport, retail and youth related topics.

Further updates on the 2019 program, partners and speakers will be announced over the coming months.
