The three-day Future Investment Initiatives (FII), which starts today, is expected to attract thousands of delegates and see deals worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
The three-day event will likely see investment partnerships from Russia and China being forged, as noted by Ellen Wald, president of the Transversal Consulting think-tank and author of the recent book “Saudi Inc,” with executives still looking to do business at the Riyadh meeting despite some having pulled out.
Executives from the Russian Direct Investment Fund, Russia-China Investment Fund and electronics giant Samsung are listed to speak at the event, joining Saudi speakers including Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, head of the Public Investment Fund, and sports official Princess Reema bint Bandar.
“Investing in transformation,” “technology as opportunity” and “advancing human potential” are among the FII’s themes. Held at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh, the three-day event is billed as a “blueprint for the 22nd century.”
