RedCloud CEO to Meet Global Leaders at FII9 Following Strong H1 2025 Performance and Eyes Saudi Market Entry

LONDON, Oct. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedCloud Holdings plc (Nasdaq: RCT) ("RedCloud" or the "Company") the RedAI trading platform used by Fast Moving Consumer Goods (‘FMCG’) businesses, today announced that CEO Justin Floyd will participate in the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from October 27–30, 2025.

FII9, one of the world's largest convenings of policymakers, investors, and innovators, brings together more than 600 speakers and global leaders under the theme "The Key to Prosperity: Unlocking New Frontiers of Growth." Featured participants span finance and technology—including senior executives from Aramco alongside leaders from JPMorgan Chase, Nasdaq, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, and HSBC—together with executives from advanced-compute and AI companies such as Alphabet/Google, Intel, OpenAI, and Groq².

Floyd's participation comes after RedCloud more than doubled its customer base year-over-year in the first half of 2025, expanding its AI-powered trading platform for the global Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) market. The Company is addressing an estimated $2 trillion inventory gap in the FMCG sector—where empty store shelves coexist with stockpiled warehouse supplies—through its RedAI platform, which uses artificial intelligence and data to optimize trade operations for businesses worldwide.

The global FMCG market is projected to grow from approximately $13 trillion today to $21.8 trillion by 2034³, creating significant opportunities for algorithmic infrastructure to transform trade efficiency and capital deployment.

"FII9's focus on geoeconomics, capital formation, artificial intelligence, and energy transition aligns directly with RedCloud's growth and market-entry priorities," said Floyd. "As we build algorithmic infrastructure for global trade, engaging with the world's leading investors and innovators at this pivotal moment is essential to our mission."

RedCloud has recently announced strategic partnerships and joint ventures, including expansion into the Middle East market through its partnership with Kayanat and Founder Majid Alghaslan, positioning the Company at the intersection of AI innovation and global commerce infrastructure.
