Saudi Arabia Reschedules Postponed FII Investment Summit for October 25-28, 2027

The summit was postponed after Houthi attacks on the kingdom. Strikes on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh disrupted air travel and raised security concerns among international executives and investors, The National reported. The National also reported that the postponement affected a major gathering for the kingdom's technology sector, which continues to pursue large AI investments.

FII has been Saudi Arabia's main stage for courting foreign investment since it launched in 2017, and it is closely tied to the economic diversification plans of Vision 2030. Policymakers, global investors and company leaders attend each year. Under the new date, the kingdom will have gone two years between flagship editions, at a time when its sovereign wealth fund has said it will put more of its money into domestic investment.

"We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the kingdom's leadership," said Princess Maha Al Saud, chief executive of the FII Institute. "The decision to move this landmark edition to October 2027 reflects our commitment to ensuring the highest level of international participation, visibility and impact."

The rescheduled summit will be held under the patronage of King Salman, with the theme The Power of Legacy, to mark ten years of the conference.

Before then, the institute will hold its FII Priority Miami summit from March 31 to April 2, 2027, followed by an Asia summit. It has not yet announced the date or location of the Asia event.
