FII PRIORITY Compass: FII Institute Identifies Global Priorities Before They Shape the World

Through its annual Global Survey, FII PRIORITY Compass, FII Institute captures insights from over 50,000 citizens across 24 countries, revealing humanity’s emerging priorities before they become global realities. These early signals empower leaders with actionable intelligence to navigate what comes next.

FII PRIORITY Miami 2026: Capital Keeps Moving, Even in Uncertain Times

Published
March 24, 2026

FII PRIORITY Miami 2026 takes place at a moment when investment decisions are becoming more selective, more strategic, and more closely tied to long-term resilience. Against that backdrop, the summit will bring together more than 2,000 leaders from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia to examine how capital is moving, what is shaping those decisions, and which sectors are likely to draw sustained attention in the years ahead.

From March 25 to 27, the Faena Hotel in Miami Beach will host discussions focused not only on where capital is going, but also on how and why it moves. Over the past decade, FII Institute has helped generate more than $250 billion in opportunities through its major international gatherings, with a continued focus on connecting ideas, capital, and action in support of long-term growth and broader human impact.

A Program Shaped by Real Challenges

Capital is becoming increasingly selective and strategic, shaped this year in particular by long-term pressures and opportunities linked to technology, infrastructure, and economic resilience.

That shift is also reflected in FII PRIORITY COMPASS 2025, which draws on the views of more than 60,000 people across 32 countries, representing 66% of the world’s population and points to changing priorities around economic stability, access to opportunity, and readiness for technological change.

Miami will also serve as the stage for the launch of two new FII Institute publications. The first, Digital Assets and Tokenized Finance, looks at how markets are evolving toward greater efficiency, accessibility, and new forms of financial infrastructure. Among its key findings are more than $8 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, along with projections suggesting that tokenized assets could reach up to $30 trillion by 2030.

The second, AI-Led Growth and Jobs in the Emerging and Developing Economies, explores how artificial intelligence can boost productivity, improve public service delivery, and support job creation across emerging markets, especially when matched by investment in skills, education, and infrastructure.

The Americas as a Regional Hub

One of the major focuses of this year’s edition is Latin America and, more broadly, the Americas as a whole. Beyond regional analysis, one of the key questions running through the program is whether the Americas can operate as a more connected capital ecosystem at a time when proximity, resilience, and strategic alignment matter more than ever.

Themes such as investment corridors, infrastructure, and digital growth run across much of the agenda. Featured sessions include:

  • CAN AN INTER-AMERICAN INVESTMENT CORRIDOR RESHAPE THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE?,
  • ENABLING CONDITIONS FOR LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN LATAM: CAN INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVER?, and
  • WHERE IS CAPITAL FLOWING NEXT IN THE AMERICAS’ DIGITAL ECONOMY?

Investment in a Multipolar World

Investment remains global, but decision-making is becoming more selective. Trust, alignment of interests, and execution capacity now carry greater weight, particularly in a more demanding international environment.

That conversation will be reflected in sessions such as:

  • BOARD OF CHANGEMAKERS: A NEW GEOGRAPHY FOR INVESTMENT,
  • WHAT DOES THE NEW US-LATAM DEAL ARCHITECTURE LOOK LIKE?, and
  • HOW DOES THE US-GULF INVESTMENT RELATIONSHIP PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE?

Private Capital Under Pressure

Private capital still has scale, liquidity, and influence in the market, but it is operating in a much more complex environment. Exits, valuations, and long-term returns are under growing pressure, and the challenge is no longer only about raising capital, but also about structuring it effectively, deploying it with discipline, and preserving value over time.

That discussion will come through in sessions such as:

  • HAS PRIVATE CAPITAL OUTGROWN THE PUBLIC MARKET?
  • HOW TO SOLVE THE $3 TRILLION EXIT PROBLEM, and
  • WHAT IS THE FRAMEWORK FOR LARGE-SCALE CO-INVESTMENTS?

Strategic Sectors: Energy, AI, and Industry

This year, energy, artificial intelligence, and industrial capacity will take center stage. Energy is no longer just a resource story; it is increasingly tied to competitiveness, infrastructure, and compute capacity. AI, meanwhile, is moving beyond software to become part of the broader economy, while critical minerals remain essential to electrification and advanced manufacturing.

These themes will be explored in sessions including:

  • WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO WIN THE RACE FOR CRITICAL MINERALS? and
  • HOW WILL NEW ENERGY DEALS REWIRE POWER, COMPUTE, AND PROFIT?

From Ideas to Action

FII PRIORITY Miami will not only examine major trends, but also push the conversation toward execution. Many of the questions on the table are deeply practical: what conditions are needed to unlock long-term investment, what frameworks can support large-scale co-investment, and how capital can be directed toward the sectors that will shape future growth.

What runs through much of this year’s agenda is the recognition that capital is still active, but the conditions around it have changed, and understanding where confidence remains, what makes investment more durable, and which sectors are best placed for long-term growth now matters more than ever.
