The highlight of my road tour to Riyadh was the time spent at @fiiksa connecting with the remarkable and talented team behind the prestigious tier 1 event. This gathering that brings together global leaders and decision-makers continues to expand its influence and presence. Over two days, I enjoyed a flurry of encounters and meaningful conversations, with energy sustained by @publicinvestmentfund own bespoke @saudicoffeeco @jazeancoffee and @noug.ksa camel dairy products! A heartfelt thank you, ceciliaattias former First Lady of France, for your distinguished company and HRH Princess Reem Saif Alsaud for the always warm welcome 🌸 . Until next time

Capital availability influences the pace of digital transformation and energy transition. @publicinvestmentfund is focusing on AI data centers and renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. At the @fiiksa global business leaders meeting, $70bn in deals were announced, signalling PIF`s push for private sector involvement. I enjoyed interactions with PIF professionals, VCs from @500global and Sanabil Investment, and visiting @kafd , the major financial district of Riyadh. #FII8 #saudiinvestors #vision2030ksa

Africa emerges as the next frontier beckoning investments in digital infrastructure and renewable energy.
I was delighted to connect at the prestigious FII in Riyadh with institutions that are transforming the continent. Notably, @standardbankgrp of South Africa, the pre-eminent banking group operating across 20 countries, and @transcorpgroup, Nigeria`s largest diversified conglomerate under the stewardship of @tonyoelumelu. A light hearted moment with the Senegalese President media team, the `giant` cameraman dubbed the Senegalese @huawei

FII8 serves as a vibrant hub for global leaders, enabling interactions with influential CEOs who deliver essential knowledge. Sir Martin Sorrell, Chairman of S4 Capital, predicts that digital and traditional advertising spend will reach $1 trillion, primarily driven by six major platforms—three from the East and three from the West— with Alphabet leading the market. As legacy brands shift to AI-driven, personalized content, localized messaging proves more effective than global outreach, although excessive content can become overwhelming for consumers! Delightful time in Riyadh having conversations on the fly with Roberto Quarta, Chairman of WPP and CD&R PE firm; Abdulrazzak Al Hussain, VP ICT, Olayan Saudi Holding Company (OSHCO), Sheikha Alanoud bint Hamad al Thani, Chair of TenX Ventures, Qatar; Oak Hill Advisors (OHA) Nader Noueiri alternative credit investment with $65bn in AUM; HSBC Head of Global Banking Europe Lisa McGeough. 💥

In Riyadh, efforts are underway to enhance digital infrastructure and sustainable energy through collaborations at FII8, a high-level meeting for leaders across sectors. Saudi Arabia aims to attract AI data centers, leveraging its low energy costs and sea water for cooling. Mohammad Abunayyan, Chairman of @acwapower is expanding renewable energy capacity, aiming for 70% renewables by 2030, while producing green hydrogen in NEOM and Uzbekistan. Raad Al-Saady, Vice Chair and MD, emphasizes that awareness of the industry is favourable for its development. #FII8 #acwapower #greendatacenters #renewableenergy♻️ #mohammadabunayyan

Byron Best from @fidelisnewenergy asserts that companies must adhere to their net zero commitments for 2030, as the voluntary market and hyperscalers are willing to pay a premium for lower-carbon services. He anticipates that the trend in low-carbon power generation will persist next year, especially as it supports hyperscalers. Additionally, he highlights the increasing impact of AI and the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market in effectively offsetting scope 3 emissions. #hyperscaledatacenter #decarbonisation #scope3 #cdr #netzero
