EURAZEO OPENS AN OFFICE IN ABU DHABI, REINFORCING ITS COMMITMENT TO THE MIDDLE EAST
Paris, 1 October 2026
Eurazeo announces the opening of its first Middle East office in ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the United Arab Emirates. This new office marks the next phase in the Group's international development and strengthening its presence across the Gulf region.
The new office will serve as a strategic hub for Eurazeo's activities across the Middle East, cementing the Group's proximity to institutional investors, family offices, sovereign institutions, and strategic partners throughout the region.
Over the past decade, the Gulf has become an increasingly important region for Eurazeo, both as a source of long-term capital and as a dynamic market for growth and innovation. The Group has built strong relationships with investors across the region while supporting numerous portfolio companies in their expansion into some of the world's fastest-growing economies.
At the same time, investors across the Gulf are seeking to diversify their portfolios and increase their exposure to Europe, attracted by the depth of its investment opportunities and its stable economic environment. With its leading position in European private markets, Eurazeo is uniquely positioned to connect regional investors with a broad pool of high-potential companies. Europe's mid-market continues to offer one of the richest ecosystems of entrepreneurial businesses, providing access to tomorrow’s global champions.
As one of the world's most important financial centres and home to the largest concentration of sovereign wealth capital globally, the United Arab Emirates offers a unique platform from which to engage with partners across the Gulf and support the development of their exposure to Europe.
This new office, led by Adrien Pinelli, Managing Director in the Investor Relations team headed by Mathieu Teisseire, further expands Eurazeo's international footprint and reinforces the Group's commitment to building lasting relationships with investors and entrepreneurs in key global markets.
Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing, Co-CEOs, declared:
"The opening of our Abu Dhabi office reflects both the growing importance of the Gulf for Eurazeo and our confidence in the region's long-term trajectory. Over the years, we have built strong relationships with investors throughout the Middle East and supported many companies in their development across the region. Today, we are also seeing increasing appetite from regional investors seeking greater exposure to Europe and its dynamic mid-market economy. As one of Europe's leading private markets asset manager, Eurazeo is uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between Gulf capital and European entrepreneurs. Abu Dhabi has established itself as a leading global financial centre and a gateway to the wider Gulf, making it the natural location from which to support our portfolio companies on the ground and continue building long-term partnerships across the region."
Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer of ADGM, said:
“We are pleased to welcome Eurazeo to ADGM and Abu Dhabi’s growing community of global asset managers. The establishment of its regional office reflects the strength of Abu Dhabi’s investment landscape and the confidence international firms place in ADGM as a platform for long-term growth. Eurazeo’s presence will further deepen investment links between the Gulf and Europe, while contributing valuable expertise, partnerships and opportunities to our dynamic financial ecosystem.”
