More than 200 chairs, chief executives, and senior leaders representing the world's most powerful sovereign wealth funds—collectively overseeing assets exceeding $10 trillion—are gathering in Athens, eKathimerini reported. The gathering takes place under the umbrella of the 18th Annual Meeting of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF), hosted by Greece's Hellenic Growth Fund.
Major institutional investors attending the event include China Investment Corporation (CIC) from China, as well as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and Mubadala Investment Company from the United Arab Emirates. Other major international funds in attendance represent Singapore (GIC), Qatar (QIA), South Korea (KIC), and Australia (Future Fund), alongside participants from Azerbaijan and African nations.
According to the report, keynote addresses across the three-day agenda will feature Greek cabinet ministers Kyriakos Pierrakakis and Kostis Hatzidakis, Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras, and NVIDIA senior executive John Josephakis. The forum's agenda centers on global investment trends, energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and artificial intelligence.
A central component of the forum includes scheduled one-on-one meetings among sovereign wealth fund leadership on the sidelines of the general sessions. These private discussions are aimed at exploring direct co-investment opportunities, long-term patient capital deployment, and cross-border partnerships across Europe and emerging markets.
