The eighth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) concluded on Thursday in Saudi Arabia. The event, under the theme "Infinite Horizons: Investing Today, Shaping Tomorrow," explored a wide range of topics and unveiled several significant initiatives. Global leaders, investors, and innovators from around the globe were part of the event.

Richard Attias, FII Institute chief executive and board member, highlighted the event's role in breaking traditional boundaries and expanding the potential of human achievement. The chief executive emphasized the importance of addressing urgent global priorities such as governance, healthcare, and the cost of living. Conference sessions explored the concept of megaregions —large, interconnected economic zones— as new centers of opportunity. They discussed the role of capital in supporting these economic hubs through innovative solutions and infrastructure investments.

The FII, held from October 29 to 31, witnessed the launch of several groundbreaking initiatives. This includes a global initiative to enable AI in emerging markets and Ocean Central, a digital platform developed by Wave and powered by the FII Institute, which collates data and provides a clear and evolving view of ocean health, an urgently needed resource in efforts to regenerate our oceans. Additionally, numerous investment initiatives were announced to support innovative projects in renewable energy, healthcare, and technology.
