Riyadh's Future Investment Initiative postponed to 2027

The Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh has been postponed to 2027. Organizers informed participants of the change and will announce new dates later.

The Financial Times, citing sources, linked the postponement to Houthi attacks on Saudi airports. In the organizers' message to participants, reported by Arab News, the stated reason was to ensure the event met expectations for its scale and quality.

The Future Investment Initiative has been held annually in Saudi Arabia since 2017 and is informally known as Davos in the Desert. Exact dates for the rescheduled conference have yet to be set.
