Riyadh, Saudi Arabia– The Future Investment Initiative Institute said Thursday two of its major events will be held in September and October—its flagship event in Riyadh from Oct 25-27 and PRIORITY summit in New York on Sept. 22.
The PRIORITY will be held on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, FII said.
Serving as platforms aimed at finding solutions to global issues, the two events will bring together experts and policymakers.
Media reports said that Richard Attias, CEO of the FII Institute, said that more than 40 speakers will take part in the New York-based summit, including Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of FII Institute, former Prime Minister of Denmark Helle Thorning-Schmidt, former Prime Minister of Bhutan Dasho Tshering Tobgay, UAE’s Minister of State for Youth Affairs Shamma bint Suhail Faris Al-Mazrui, Judith Rodin, the president Emerita at the University of Pennsylvania and others.
Attias said the institute is conducting a global survey to find out the top priority of individuals across a broad range of demographics, and its results will be revealed at the PRIORITY summit.
“Over the past two years, the world faced many challenges that have left an impact on all citizens across the globe. Therefore, our values and priorities have changed.”
