The Family Office selects Shura Island to host Investing is a Sea summit
- From the heart of The Red Sea destination: elite decision-makers explore the future of the global economy and artificial intelligence
The Red Sea, February 10, 2026: Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, is celebrating the successful conclusion of the Investing Is a Sea summit, organized by The Family Office. The three-day event, held at Shura Island from January 29 to 31, 2026, brought together a distinguished group of decision-makers, investors, and thought leaders from around the world. Hosting the summit in one of Saudi Arabia’s most exciting destinations reflects a strategic move to link high-level investment dialogues with long-term developmental contexts. Shura Island is the heart of The Red Sea destination, developed by RSG to be a global center for regenerative tourism and strategic innovation.
Through specialized panel sessions, the summit aimed to provide a deep and balanced analysis of the global investment landscape, focusing on navigating rapid economic and geopolitical shifts. Discussions explored the role of private markets, including private equity and alternative debt, in building portfolios that are more resilient and capable of adapting to various economic cycles. Participants also emphasized the importance of adopting a long-term investment approach rooted in discipline and selectivity.
The sessions further examined the impact of advanced technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in supporting investment decisions and risk management. These tools were highlighted as essential assets that enhance analytical accuracy and the quality of decision-making in increasingly complex investment environments. The summit also underscored Saudi Arabia’s position as a global investment magnet and a proactive platform for sustainable economic dialogue, in alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
Abdulmohsin Al Omran, Founder and CEO of The Family Office, said: "When we chose the title Investing Is a Sea for this summit, we wanted a location that embodies the true depth of this concept. Investment is indeed a sea of vast opportunities, but it requires a clear vision, expertise, and discipline to navigate. Shura Island provided the ideal environment to reflect this philosophy and facilitate an investment dialogue that mirrors the scale of transformation in the Kingdom, where investment ambitions meet world-class projects built with sustainability at their core."
The summit saw high-level participation from leading figures and experts, including HRH Prince Turki Al-Faisal, Chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies; Lord Jim O'Neill, former UK Commercial Secretary to the Treasury; Dr. Amer Bisat, emerging markets expert and former Minister of Economy and Trade in Lebanon; Jomana Al-Rashid, CEO and Board Member of the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG); Mohamed El-Erian, Chairman of Gramercy Fund Management; and Abdulrahman Al-Rashed, Chairman of the Editorial Board of Al-Arabiya, alongside an elite group of senior investors and financial experts worldwide.
Hosting this landmark event reinforces the leading role of The Red Sea destination as a hub for global dialogue on the future of responsible investment. It creates a framework that bridges long-term economic ambitions with the aspirations of ‘People and Planet’, further cementing the Kingdom’s status as a premier international platform for the exchange of investment insights.
