In 2002, Mubadala - the Arabic word for ‘exchange’ - was established by the Government of Abu Dhabi, with a mandate to facilitate the diversification of Abu Dhabi’s economy.
Our focus is on managing long-term, capital-intensive investments that deliver strong financial returns and tangible social benefits for the Emirate.
The principles that underpin our mandate and guide our business strategy differentiate us from other investment organizations; in short, while our investments have to be commercially viable, generating sustainable profits over the long-term, they also have to deliver strong social returns to Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates.
Our partnerships with world class industry leaders underpin those principles; bringing the knowledge, expertise and technical skills that the Emirate needs to build a balanced and sustainable economy.
New, knowledge-based industries are also bringing high value employment opportunities to the United Arab Emirates, encouraging foreign direct investment and providing us with access to new global markets, both now and in the future.
