The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute has announced the addition of twelve high-profile companies to its list of Strategic Partners, bolstering its efforts to promote sustainable and equitable development on a global scale. These companies join a growing community of prominent figures from business, technology, aviation, energy, academia, and public policy who are working together to address global challenges through collaboration and innovation.
The FII Institute runs an extensive programme throughout the year that includes international summits, policy development initiatives, global surveys, and dedicated indices aimed at addressing key societal issues. Strategic Partners are integral to this mission, contributing leadership, expertise, and participation across a variety of initiatives. Among the twelve new partners are industry giants such as ACWA Power, Riyadh Air, and Franklin Templeton. In addition, the FII Institute has launched a new Venture Program, welcoming its first partners, General Atlantic and Lakestar, who will play significant roles in the upcoming FII8 Investment Day.
The Venture Program, a new initiative by FII, is dedicated to fostering collaboration among entrepreneurs, investors, and experts in critical areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, sustainability, health, and education. By focusing on these areas, the programme seeks to drive impactful solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. General Atlantic and Lakestar, both leading firms in investment and innovation, are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the institute’s efforts in these fields.
The new Strategic Partners join an already impressive roster that includes the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, Aramco, HSBC, and Ma’aden. They will work alongside existing Vision Partners such as the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia and Diriyah, as well as a number of other major players in the financial, industrial, and educational sectors. Together, these partners are striving to achieve FII Institute’s mission to promote growth and equality in a sustainable future.
Scheduled to run from 28 to 31 October in Riyadh, this year’s FII8 conference will bring together more than six hundred speakers and eight thousand delegates, including prominent world leaders, ministers, CEOs, investors, and policymakers. The main conference will feature four days of focused discussions on humanity’s most urgent challenges, supported by a full week of side events and interactive sessions.
Among those supporting the event are major corporate names such as BMW, Saudia, Dr. Sulaiman Alhabib Medical Services, and the Saudi Electricity Company. In addition, top global consultancy firms and educational institutions, including Bain & Company, Columbia University, Deloitte, EY, McKinsey, and the World Bank, are contributing to the knowledge-sharing activities by acting as ‘knowledge and academic partners’.
Richard Attias, CEO of the FII Institute, expressed his optimism about the partnership expansion: “Our partners are fundamental to our mission at FII Institute to make a positive impact on humanity. By joining forces with over 60 exceptional partners, we are harnessing a collective power to address pressing challenges and create a more sustainable future.”
As the FII Institute continues to expand its global network, the inclusion of these new partners strengthens its ability to influence and drive forward initiatives that promote sustainable growth and social equality across industries and borders.
