| | NOVEMBER 20244Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal, recently concluded his visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The main agenda of his visit was attending the 8th Edition of Future Investment Initiative (FII), with representatives from global Governments and the industry. The FII is a non-profit organization run by the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia's main sovereign wealth fund, which was created to enhance these efforts. FII has translated over $125 billion in deals over the past decade. Often called the "Davos in the Desert," the FII conference is one of the largest international investment and innovation forums in the Middle East. This year's event was built on the theme, "Infinite Horizons: Investing Today, Shaping Tomorrow." The event saw keen focus on furthering impactful solutions in areas such as global connectivity, mining, artificial intelligence, health technology, sports, the circular economy, and more.Piyush highlighted the critical role of international partnerships and economic diplomacy in fostering global cooperation, innovation, technological advancement, and investment. He urged global investors to seize emerging opportunities in India, particularly in high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. India is betting highly on its trade relations with Saudi Arabia and is expecting significant investments in the near future. India is expecting to attract Foreign Direct Investment of $ 120-160 billion yearly by 2025. It is fair to say that there will be incremental pressure on Chief Investment Officers in the country. This yearly special issue of CEO Insights is diving deeper into the country's investment and organizational finance leadership ecosystem.
