About Us
Founded in 2022 and based in Dubai, the World Family Office Institute (WFOI) is a global think tank focused on the creative economy, cultural investment, and future city design. Leveraging a worldwide network of family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors, WFOI connects capital to the creative economy, fostering innovation at the intersection of culture, technology, and investment.
WFOI has established its flagship “Creative Futures” Summit in Dubai and London, bringing together global leaders to explore the next frontier of culture, creativity, and technology. Beyond summits, WFOI hosts closed, private diplomatic and investment roundtables in Singapore, Paris, Geneva, and Riyadh, facilitating strategic partnerships, capital allocation, and cross-border collaboration.
Our Mission
The World Family Office Institute (WFOI) is dedicated to shaping the future of creative economy, cultural technology, and Global Future City by connecting global capital to the creative economy. We aim to redefine cultural and creative industries for the 21st century, positioning the Middle East as a next-generation global hub for creativity, innovation, and investment, fully aligned with regional visionary frameworks such as UAE Vision 2031 and Saudi Vision 2030.
At the core of our mission are three interconnected pillars:
-
Creative Economy: fostering arts, media, design, fashion, gaming, digital content, and cultural tourism, enabling family offices and sovereign wealth funds to discover new opportunities and generate sustainable impact.
-
Cultural Technology Investment: advancing integration of AI, AIGC, AR/VR, immersive media, digital art, tokenized IP, and innovative platforms to create investable cultural assets.
-
Global Future City Design: championing human-centric, culture-driven, and tech-enabled city development, including creative districts, smart city infrastructure, mobility solutions, sustainable lifestyles, and immersive public spaces.
WFOI emphasizes global collaboration and cultural diplomacy, bridging Asia (Singapore, Japan, China), Europe (France, UK, Switzerland), and the Middle East (UAE, KSA, Qatar) to co-create knowledge, capital, and innovation pathways. By combining research, strategic convening, and actionable insights, WFOI empowers its network of family offices, sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, and cultural leaders to drive transformative growth in the creative economy and shape Global Future Cities for decades ahead.
