Crown Prince Khaled bin Mohamed Meets General Atlantic Leadership to Explore Regional Investment Opportunities

His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has held discussions with William E Ford, Chairman and CEO of General Atlantic, focusing on investment cooperation and the competitive advantages Abu Dhabi presents to multinational enterprises seeking expansion across the Middle East and beyond.

His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, has convened with William E Ford, Chairman and CEO of General Atlantic, in a meeting that underscored Abu Dhabi’s strategic importance as a regional investment hub.

The engagement centred on identifying pathways for investment cooperation whilst showcasing the distinctive competitive advantages that Abu Dhabi extends to global companies pursuing regional and international expansion. Such high-level dialogues reflect the Emirate’s ongoing commitment to attracting world-class financial and investment institutions.

General Atlantic’s establishment of an office within the Abu Dhabi Global Market in December 2024 represents a tangible commitment to accelerating growth across the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey. This development signals confidence in Abu Dhabi’s regulatory framework and investment climate, positioning the Emirate as a preferred location for major international financial players to anchor their regional operations.

The meeting brought together a distinguished delegation of Abu Dhabi’s senior leadership, including Jassem Mohammed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Department of Finance – Abu Dhabi; His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development; His Excellency Saif Saeed Ghobash, Secretary General of Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Office of the Crown Prince; and Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, Deputy Group CEO of Mubadala Investment Company.

The breadth of representation from across Abu Dhabi’s financial and economic institutions underscores the significance attributed to deepening engagement with General Atlantic and, by extension, the broader investment community seeking opportunity within the United Arab Emirates.
