Mubadala is investing and partnering at the leading edge of global growth and innovation to create opportunities for future generations.

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Mubadala also has offices in London, New York and Beijing.

At Mubadala we continue to look towards the future, with aspirations to double the portfolio's size in the coming decade.
