The article names several major participants, including China Investment Corporation, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Mubadala, Singapore's GIC, the Qatar Investment Authority, Korea Investment Corporation, Australia's Future Fund and France's Bpifrance. The conference theme, "Sovereign Capital in a Contested World," focuses on how institutional investors are adjusting capital allocation amid geopolitical fragmentation and technological transformation.
The article notes that many of these funds already have a substantial footprint in Greece. Chinese state funds have been placed in the port infrastructure of Piraeus through Cosco, and the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund holds positions in Greek listed companies and government bonds. UAE investors have been especially active. Through entities including Mubadala, Masdar and PureHealth, they have acquired Greek energy and other companies, most notably Terna Energy from the GEK Terna group, and hold interests in the healthcare and data center sectors. A three-year investment and collaboration plan of €10 billion is reportedly under way.
The Singaporean sovereign wealth fund, which has made a significant investment in the Sani/Ikos hotel group, will also send staff to Athens for the event.
