Still on, the conference will be held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

FII seeks to further explore global trends and opportunities that contribute to sustainable development, build a network of key players in the global arena, and highlight emerging sectors that will shape future economies.
