Announcement (15/4/26): “Bain Capital, a leading global private investment firm, today announced the opening of its office in ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi. The new office builds on Bain Capital’s long-standing relationships across the Middle East and reflects the firm’s continued commitment to investing, partnering, and supporting growth across priority sectors in the region. Bain Capital’s strategy in the Middle East is anchored in three pillars: 1) It will further reinforce the firm’s capital formation efforts, supporting long-term relationships with regional investors across Bain Capital’s global investment platform. 2) It will support the expansion and growth of select Bain Capital portfolio companies in the Middle East, helping connect companies to the region’s capital, customers, talent, and strategic partners, with a focus on sectors aligned to regional priorities such as aviation, healthcare, digital infrastructure, and financial technology. 3) It will help position Bain Capital to evaluate, over time, more direct investment activity in the region as markets develop and attractive opportunities emerge … … The Abu Dhabi office will serve as a regional hub supporting deeper engagement across the Middle East, while also strengthening connectivity with the firm’s global footprint. The establishment of Bain Capital’s office follows its strategic partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) under the emirate’s Fintech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets (FIDA) cluster, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to supporting the development of next-generation financial infrastructure and services, contributing to the continued evolution of the region’s investment ecosystem.”
