INVESTING IN HUMANITY: Yalla Shares Its Unicorn Story at FII Institute’s Sixth Future Investment Initiative

Yalla was recently a proud contributor to the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute ’s sixth Future Investment Initiative, titled “Investing in Humanity: Enabling a New Global Order.” Held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in October 2022, the event convened the world’s foremost CEOs, policymakers, investors and entrepreneurs to discuss and shape the future of international investment and the global economy, including in-depth conversations about new pathways for global investment and analysis of critical industry trends.

 

Yalla was featured on the “From Seed to Unicorn: Empowering Youth Entrepreneurship” panel, moderated by Massimo Mazza, a senior partner in McKinsey & Company.
