The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute and Expo 2030 Riyadh announced on Wednesday a long-term strategic partnership that unites two of the Kingdom's most visionary platforms under a shared mission: advancing global prosperity and creating a lasting impact for humanity.

As Expo 2030 Riyadh prepares to welcome the world, this collaboration will harness FII Institute’s unparalleled convening power, thought leadership, and investment network to translate visionary ideas into tangible outcomes. Together, the two organizations will design and implement initiatives that place people at the heart of policy, innovation, and investment, ensuring that progress serves citizens, businesses, and governments alike.

Chairman of the Executive Committee and Acting CEO of FII Institute Richard Attias said: “This partnership brings together FII Institute, the world’s foremost convener of investors and changemakers, with one of the century’s most transformative global gatherings.”

“Between now and 2030, our shared mission is to turn bold ideas into real, investable solutions that improve lives. When the gates of Expo Riyadh open, we won’t just be showcasing the future, we will have helped build it,” he stressed.

CEO of Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC) Talal AlMarri said: “This partnership with FII Institute marks an important milestone in our journey to position Expo 2030 Riyadh as a global hub for innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development.”

“Together, we will create meaningful opportunities that connect visionary minds, foster groundbreaking ideas, and shape a better future for generations to come,” he added.

This alliance reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a global hub for dialogue, innovation, and action, and reinforces both institutions’ commitment to delivering a measurable impact for humanity.
