The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute has announced its first group of global speakers and outlined the program themes for FII PRIORITY Asia 2025, scheduled for November 30 to December 1 in Tokyo.
This year’s summit will center on “The New Asia”—examining how the region’s capital, creativity, and technological leadership are reshaping global growth and shifting the world’s economic center of gravity.
Organized in partnership with Mizuho Financial Group, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) Group, the two-day gathering will bring together international investors, policymakers, founders, and Fortune 500 CEOs for high-impact conversations, curated roundtables, and strategic investment sessions.
