Mubadala & GE – A strategic global partnership
In many ways, the Mubadala GE relationship exemplifies Mubadala’s partnership philosophy – to capitalize on investment opportunities in diverse industries alongside leading international companies and to become a stronger, more globally-integrated organization through long-term collaboration with partners.
Now in its fifth year, the Mubadala GE relationship has been a partnership in every respect and draws on the companies’ joint commitment to, and core expertise in, high-growth businesses such as commercial finance and clean energy. The relationship encompasses a broad range of initiatives, including in financial services, clean energy research and development, aviation and corporate learning. Mubadala is also one of GE’s largest shareholders.
As Mubadala enters its second decade as a company, there is much to learn from GE and its over 100-year history – and much to share as Mubadala builds on its deep regional knowledge to invest in the future of Abu Dhabi.
