Founders Club International

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is set to boost annual investments to $70 billion, accelerating Vision 2030! The PIF’s strategy includes a mix of profits from its global portfolio, strategic debt, government capital, and asset transfers. Upcoming IPOs like National Unified Procurement Company "NUPCO" Saudi Tabreed and Saudi Global Ports will unlock liquidity, energizing the Tadawul exchange. This shift opens major opportunities in projects like NEOM Qiddiya | ?????? and Red Sea Project creating multi-billion-dollar prospects in infrastructure, tech, and sustainability. With investments in global companies like Uber, Tesla and Lucid Motors, the PIF is positioning Saudi Arabia as a hub for innovation and business expansion. For investors and business leaders, this is a unique chance to tap into one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and partner in a global transformation! #fci #news #saudiarabia #PIF #saudivision2030

??“The secret is to be a giver, not a taker.”?? This #powerful advice from my conversation with Carl Grant III, whom I had the honor of meeting for the second consecutive year at the Founders Club International #networking event, truly resonated with me. Carl also gave me pointers about how to lead a significant path in the #insurance industry from the kind of relations I should forge to the little actions I need to make. Networking with #bright minds is vital for #growth and #innovovation and I’m immensely grateful that I get to do this with my dearest #friend and #mentor, Yemi Makinde, by my side.
