沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金（PIF）已启动 “2018未来投资倡议大会” 筹备工作。该论坛将继续探索塑造全球投资格局的趋势、机遇与挑战。

The 2018 edition will build on the success of last year’s inaugural event, which brought together over 3,800 participants from more than 90 countries. The event will be held under the patronage of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs and Chairman of PIF. The second FII will take place in Riyadh from October 23 to 25.

“2018未来投资倡议大会”将在去年成功举办首届活动的基础上汇集来自90余个国家的3000多名投资嘉宾。大会将在萨勒曼国王和身兼副首相、经济发展事务委员会主席、沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金会主席等职务的穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼王储领导下于2018年10月23日至25日在沙特首都利雅得举办。

The Public Investment Fund is developing into one of the world’s leading and most impactful sovereign wealth funds, and it looks forward to continuing to build strong strategic partnerships while also showcasing the opportunity for private sector participation as Saudi Arabia’s economy continues to expand and diversify. 

沙特公共投资基金正在发展成为世界领先和影响力最大的主权财富基金之一，有望继续建立强有力的战略伙伴关系，赋予私营部门更多的参与机会，实现沙特经济扩大化和多元化。

FII 2018 hosted by PFI, will bring together renowned visionaries with the power to shape the future of global investment to discuss three broad themes: Investing in Transformation, which focuses on how the world’s top investors are creating new cities and transforming economies. The second theme is Technology as Opportunity that deals with considering how technologies are enabling new economic opportunities through personalization and industrialization at scale. The third, Advancing Human Potential, looks at a world where humans and machines work together to create safer, happier and more productive lives.

由沙特公共投资基金启动的“2018未来投资倡议大会”将汇聚各行业富有远见的投资者，推动世界未来投资的引擎，重点讨论投资转型、技术革新和人类潜能提升三大主题。投资转型主题重点关注新城创造和经济模式转型议题；技术革新主题重点关注技术个性化和大规模工业化议题；人类潜能主题重点关注人机互动创造更安全、快乐和高质量生活。

FII was launched as a substantial international platform for expert-led debate between investors, innovators and governments, as well as economic leaders. Discussions at last year's event focused on future developments in the world economy, including investment trends around areas such as energy, infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence and robotics, as well as new growth areas.

未来投资倡议大会是一个投资者、创新者、政府以及经济领袖等精英领导的重要国际交流论坛。去年的会议讨论主题集中于世界经济的未来发展，包括能源，基础设施，人工智能和机器人以及新的增长领域等方面的投资趋势。

Last year’s FII saw the launch of the Public Investment Fund Program (2018-2020), one of 12 Vision 2030 Realization Programs, which will act as a road-map to help diversify the Kingdom’s economy and transform it into a global investment powerhouse. In addition, launched to promote global collaboration, FII has already fostered new partnerships that will help transform industries in Saudi Arabia and globally. The 2017 edition saw future initiatives announced with Blackstone, SoftBank, Virgin Galactic, The Spaceship Company and Virgin Orbit.

去年的未来投资倡议大会见证了《愿景2030》12个实现计划之一的《公共投资基金计划（2018-2020年）》的启动，该计划将作为一个路线图，促进沙特的经济多元化并将其转变为全球投资强国。另外，为了促进全球合作，未来投资倡议大会已经与Blackstone，SoftBank，Virgin Galactic，Spaceship Company和Virgin Orbit建立了新的合作伙伴关系，这将有助于沙特阿拉伯和全球的工业转型。

The 2018 edition aims to continue building active global networks of influential actors to further explore the emerging industries that will shape the global economy and investment environment over the coming decades. It’s a great opportunity to observe the future trend of global and Saudi Arabian investment and to build up contacts with leaders in various industries all over the world.
