FII Institute Unveils Powerhouse Speaker Lineup for FII9 in Riyadh

The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute today announced the speaker lineup and program for its flagship FII9 Conference, taking place October 27–30, 2025, at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center (KAICC) in Riyadh. Under the theme “The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth,” FII9 will bring together more than 15 heads of state, alongside world leaders, global change makers, and visionary investors to confront the paradoxes shaping our future—balancing progress with consequences, innovation with constraints, and fragmentation with connectivity. 

With 600+ speakers across 230+ sessions, FII9 will reaffirm its role as a global engine for investment, ideas, and impact. The conference opens with H.E. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of FII Institute, presenting the 4th Priority Compass. This landmark survey gathers insights from tens of thousands of people across 32 countries—covering 66% of the world’s population— to guide leaders toward concrete, citizen-driven solutions. 

Richard Attias, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Acting CEO of FII Institute, emphasized: “FII9 is where global leaders align capital with purpose. The Priority Compass ensures our discussions are not abstract, but rooted in the real concerns of people across the world.” 

Two plenary halls will stage high-level debates, fireside chats, and Board of Changemakers sessions on humanity’s most urgent questions: 

Can shared economic interests bridge divides or deepen fractures? 

How should trade rules evolve to protect security while preserving global coherence? 

What pathways can deliver energy that is secure, sustainable, and affordable? 

How can innovation accelerate responsibly without creating new global imbalances?
