FII Institute is a global nonprofit with a single pressing agenda:
Global, inclusive and driven by data, we foster great minds from around the world and turn ideas into real-world solutions and actions in four critical areas: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, Education, Healthcare and Sustainability.
The world’s priorities, measured.
Since 2022, the FII PRIORITY Compass has tracked what global citizens identify as top priorities, and their opinions on trending matters and emerging industries. The 2026 edition, its fifth year, draws on 61,200 adults in 32 countries, representing 66% of the world’s population, with the Global North and the Global South fairly represented.
The full report shows where the world agrees, where it divides, and how its priorities have moved: a reading of demand, risk appetite and policy expectations for the people who allocate capital and set direction.
