RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia — 28 October 2025. As part of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9)—the 9th edition of the flagship conference that convenes leaders from government, investment, and technology in Riyadh to shape the next decade of growth—FII Institute will present What is Prosperity?, a volume that reimagines prosperity beyond GDP and translates it into a practical agenda focused on execution, metrics, and meaningful cooperation.

With a clear, evidence based narrative, the book frames prosperity as an inclusive, intergenerational objective: it links education, health, and quality jobs with responsible innovation (including AI), finance in service of development, and environmental sustainability. Its proposition is to move from declaration to discipline: measure better to decide better, coordinate policy and capital around verifiable goals, and build alliances that turn ideas into results for more people, in more places.

Contributors include H.E. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Chairman of FII Institute; Amin H. Nasser, President & CEO of Saudi Aramco; Michael Dell, Chairman & CEO of Dell Technologies; and David M. Rubenstein, Co-Founder & Co-Chairman of The Carlyle Group. Their perspectives converge on a notion of prosperity that demands long-term vision, institutional trust, and rigorous execution mobilizing both the public and private sectors.

True to FII Institute’s mission—Think, Xchange, Act—What is Prosperity? connects purpose and action: it identifies the major challenges, creates effective spaces for exchange, and accelerates initiatives that scale impact.

Among the book’s key findings, it emphasizes that the prosperity worth striving for is measurable, inclusive, and sustainable, and is achieved when evidence-based policies, purpose-driven innovation, and cross-sector collaboration convert growth into shared and lasting well-being.
