Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock, will partner with L’IMAD, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Temasek, to launch an infrastructure investment partnership which will capitalise on the growing opportunities across the GCC and Central Asia. 

It will also consider select investments within the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, said a statement.

The proposed partnership would target a diversified pipeline of high-quality infrastructure investment opportunities worth $30 billion across several key segments including energy, transportation, logistics, digital, water, and waste management, reflecting strong structural demand across target markets. 

The collaboration underlines a broader trend of sustained global investor appetite for the UAE and the wider region, driven by robust macroeconomic fundamentals and an increasingly mature investment ecosystem.

Leadership from the four founding entities emphasised that the venture will combine global investment expertise with local insights to accelerate the development of future-ready, resilient infrastructure.

The founding partners stated that they will maintain a strict focus on operational excellence and active, long-term value creation as they look to build out critical infrastructure across their target markets.
