Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, October 21, 2025 – The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, a global nonprofit foundation with an investment arm, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Soudah Development, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company spearheading the transformation of Soudah and parts of Rijal Almaa into a world-class luxury mountain tourism destination in the Aseer region.

Established in 2021 and chaired by HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Soudah Development plays a vital role in realizing Saudi Vision 2030 by positioning the Aseer region as a model of sustainable, culturally rooted tourism that celebrates heritage while driving economic growth.

Richard Attias, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Acting CEO of the FII Institute, said:

“Tourism is a powerful engine for economic growth and cultural exchange, but its future depends on regenerative approaches that restore ecosystems, empower communities, and preserve authenticity. Soudah Development embodies this vision. Together, we aim to demonstrate how tourism can be both a driver of prosperity and a catalyst for long-term resilience.”

Eng. Saleh Aloraini, CEO of Soudah Development, said: “Saudi Arabia is accelerating the realization of Vision 2030, and Soudah Development is proud to be contributing through Soudah Peaks, the Kingdom’s first luxury mountain destination. As a strategic partner of FII Institute, we are showcasing how this flagship project is driving the development of the Aseer region, attracting investment, and advancing the Kingdom’s economic diversification agenda.”

Through this partnership, Soudah Development and FII Institute will collaborate year-round on joint thought leadership initiatives, global platforms, and innovation programs focused on advancing solutions that drive sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment.

This collaboration highlights the FII Institute’s role as a global convener of capital, ideas, and impact—and reinforces Soudah Development’s position as a national champion of sustainable tourism and strategic investment aligned with Vision 2030.

Riyadh, September 25, 2025 — The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, through its THINK Pillar, has published a groundbreaking whitepaper in collaboration with the Hevolution Foundation: “Ensuring Global Access to Healthy Aging Solutions: A Strategic Approach.” The report underscores the urgent need to extend not just lifespan but healthspan—the years lived in good health—through public-private partnerships, preventative healthcare, and equitable access to longevity innovations. 

With the global population over 60 expected to surpass 2 billion by 2050, the study reveals that adding just one year of healthspan could save trillions annually in healthcare costs and productivity losses. Despite this potential, global investment in longevity research remains far below required levels, highlighting the need for urgent cooperation between governments, investors, and innovators to scale impactful solutions. The paper emphasizes the economic and social benefits of preventative healthcare and calls for action to ensure underserved populations also benefit from these advances. 

“Through our THINK Pillar, we transform bold ideas into actionable insights that serve humanity,” said Richard Attias, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Acting CEO of the FII Institute. “This collaboration with Hevolution addresses one of the defining challenges of our era: ensuring that longer lives come with healthier years. We urge investors, policymakers, and innovators to work with us to shape a future where all people—regardless of background—can age in good health.” 

Dr. Mehmood Khan, Chief Executive Officer of the Hevolution Foundation, added: “This whitepaper calls for a global shift in focus—from lifespan to healthspan. At Hevolution, we accelerate this transition by funding cutting-edge research, supporting biotech startups, and convening global expertise. Collaborations like this with FII Institute amplify the momentum, ensuring equitable and scalable approaches to healthier, longer lives for all.” 

The release of this whitepaper comes ahead of FII9, the Institute’s flagship conference, taking place October 27–30, 2025, in Riyadh. Under the theme “The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth”, the event will gather world leaders, investors, and visionaries to identify actionable strategies for advancing sustainable and inclusive prosperity.
