The ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) Conference will be held from Oct. 27-30, 2025, in Riyadh at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center, under the theme “The Key to Prosperity.”

The event will be held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

FII9 will address the paradoxes that impede 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 geopolitical tensions and resource disparities hinder global connectivity, state-run news agency SPA reported.

Richard Attias, Chairman and Acting CEO of the FII Institute, stated, “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 programs, including specialized workshops and networking events, will be announced at a later date.

FII9 is expected to bring together over 7,500 participants and 600 distinguished speakers across 250 interactive sessions, reaffirming Riyadh’s position as a premier global hub where leaders and innovators from around the world engage in exclusive, data-driven discussions, transforming insights into actionable strategies that shape the future of investment.
