In 2025, Mubadala continued its efforts to strengthen the national economy by creating quality job opportunities for local talent, attracting global investments, and accelerating the growth of strategic sectors crucial for the long-term competitiveness of the national economy. Mubadala contributed AED 45 billion to the gross domestic product, representing 5.7% of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil GDP, while directly and indirectly supporting approximately 98,000 quality job opportunities in Abu Dhabi, marking a 51% increase since 2021. This reinforces Mubadala’s role and commitment to empowering and developing local skills.
2025 marked one of the most active years for Mubadala’s global investment platforms, as the group expanded its strategic investments and strengthened its presence through international partnerships across North America, Europe, and Asia. This reflects an enhancement of investment opportunities in sectors such as artificial intelligence, technology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and energy infrastructure, among others.
Mubadala launched a partnership valued at $1 billion (approximately AED 3.7 billion) with Fortress Investment Group to invest in private credit and broaden flexible financing solutions to support medium-sized enterprises and investment opportunities in asset-backed securities. Additionally, Mubadala made a significant investment in PCI Pharma Services as part of a strategic joint venture with Bain Capital and Kohlberg to enhance the company’s capabilities in the development and manufacturing of innovative biopharmaceuticals, biological products, and specialized medical therapies to meet growing global demand.
The company also formed a partnership with Silver Lake by acquiring Endeavor Group, a leading global platform focused on talent representation, media, and entertainment, which owns TKO Group, including UFC and WWE under its umbrella.
This investment strengthens the strategic partnership between Mubadala and Silver Lake and adds valuable assets to Mubadala’s portfolio, focusing on high-quality investments that can generate substantial cash flows with promising and sustainable long-term growth prospects.
Mubadala executed a $600 million (around AED 2.2 billion) investment in collaboration with EQT and other global institutional partners to acquire a stake in Nord Anglia Education, the leading global operator of premium international schools catering to over 100,000 students across 37 countries.
Furthermore, Mubadala invested in a minority stake in Techem amounting to approximately €6.7 billion (AED 28.8 billion) as part of a consortium with Partners Group, GIC, and TPG Rise Climate, aimed at supporting efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the real estate sector, which accounts for around 40% of global emissions.
Mubadala also acquired a 30% stake in Luxcarta International, a leading provider of reusable packaging and shipping platform solutions within the Asia-Pacific region, alongside several investors, including Trustar Capital and FountainVest. This investment marks Mubadala’s first venture into the industrial sector in Asia.
Additionally, Mubadala, through a joint venture with Ardian, invested $253 million (approximately AED 929 million) to acquire a stake in four luxury retail properties located in Paris and New York, leased to fashion houses under the Kering Group.
Mubadala has committed approximately €300 million (AED 1.29 billion) towards Resolute Energy in partnership with Actis to support the expansion of renewable energy projects in Central and Eastern Europe.
Moreover, Mubadala committed to invest in a structured minority stake in Truecordia in partnership with The Carlyle Group through a loss-protected equity tool, granting access to a comprehensive insurance brokerage platform in the United States.
Mubadala Capital successfully completed the acquisition of CI Financial, a leading asset management and diversified wealth management firm in North America, in a deal valued at CAD 12.1 billion (around AED 32.2 billion).
This asset volume encapsulates Mubadala Capital’s vision of establishing a leading global asset management platform, focusing on delivering alternative investments with high institutional standards across various asset classes and geographical regions.
