Event Overview
As global businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability, the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles has become essential for long-term success, alongside a focus on sustainable development and infrastructure growth. Riyadh, a hub of innovation and economic expansion, is uniquely positioned to lead the way in aligning ESG initiatives with cutting-edge digital technologies and infrastructure projects.
In an era where sustainable, smart solutions are critical, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a vital mechanism for driving innovation and progress. The Saudi Vision 2030 initiative has been a major catalyst, launching numerous programs aimed at stimulating infrastructure development and enhancing Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) ecosystems.
Insights is honored to host an event covering the intersections of ESG, Public-Private Partnerships, and the PE/VC investment landscape. This event will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the pivotal role of digitalization in advancing both sustainable business practices and infrastructure development, creating value across the Middle East.
Attendees will learn how to integrate ESG principles into business practices, focusing on framework selection and effective reporting to drive sustainable development and infrastructure growth. Key discussions will cover investment opportunities and public-private partnerships that promote ESG innovation and infrastructure expansion in Riyadh, ensuring long-term economic sustainability.
This gathering provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with key stakeholders and contribute to shaping a sustainable, digitally-driven future for businesses and infrastructure in Riyadh and beyond.
