Global business and policy leaders are set to converge in Tokyo as the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute has unveiled the first cohort of speakers and the central themes for FII PRIORITY Asia 2025, scheduled for November 30 to December 1, 2025.
Positioned under the banner “The New Asia,” the summit will explore how the region’s accelerating influence in capital, technology, and creative industries is reshaping global economic power.
FII PRIORITY Asia 2025 will be held in partnership with major Japanese financial institutions — Mizuho Financial Group, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), and SMBC Group — who are serving as Presenting Partners.
The event will gather influential investors, policymakers, founders, and Fortune 500 executives for strategy-focused dialogues, curated exchange sessions, and investment roundtables.
A central presence at the Tokyo gathering will be Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), with H.E. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, PIF Governor and Chairman of the FII Institute’s Board of Trustees, expected to play a leading role across key sessions.
Richard Attias, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Acting CEO of the FII Institute, described Tokyo as the ideal venue for a summit dedicated to Asia’s new global weight.
“Tokyo is the natural stage for ‘The New Asia.’ Together with our distinguished Presenting Partners… FII PRIORITY Asia will transform West–East dialogue into actionable investment and breakthrough collaboration across AI, mobility, healthcare, finance, and the creative industries,” Attias said.
