The FII is a three-day conference for the world’s leading business leaders, politicians, and civic society groups to discuss business and technology. Pledgecamp CEO, Jae Choi, will attend this exclusive event in 2019. #MoonMonday

Overview

Known as “Davos in the desert”, the FII is organized by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund as part of the “2030 Vision”, an economic plan to diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy and reduce its reliance on oil. The conference represents an opportunity for companies to build relationships and secure lucrative contracts in the Kingdom.

Our CEO, Jae Choi, has received an exclusive invitation to network and represent Pledgecamp among the world’s business leaders in one of the most important regions for future investment.

Poised for Impact

Pledgecamp is well-positioned to make an impact and bring our vision of entrepreneurship to the region. Among Pledgecamp’s advisors are Prince Abdullah bin Bandar bin Abdul Aziz:

Prince Abdullah is the deputy governor of the Makkah region (since April 2017) and deputy head of department of the King Salman Youth Center — a non-profit organization established to build youths into professional leaders and successful entrepreneurs. He is now serving as Minister of National guard.

and Prince Saud K. Al Faisal:

Prince Saud K. Al Faisal is Executive Director for Investment Policies and Regulations at the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority, where he heads the Investment Policy Department tasked with establishing a more facilitative investment environment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In addition to this role, HRH Prince Saud also acts as the Executive Director for Investment Attraction & Promotion, the department spearheading SAGIA’s mandate to promote the Kingdom as an attractive investment destination.

Among Pledgecamp’s goals are to grow our business and investment contacts, establish an incubation center in the region, and otherwise tap into the exploding startup environment in the region.

Today’s news is a further indication that we are in it for the long haul, and it will take such connection-building and time to make the platform truly successful. For those following us on the journey, we look forward to announcing more #MoonMondays each week.
