Bain Capital has opened an office in the ADGM, establishing the new Bain Capital Abu Dhabi hub to expand its Middle East portfolio and evaluate direct investments in the regional financial technology sector. The company says the move will connect its global platform with local capital, talent, and strategic partners. The Bain Capital Abu Dhabi expansion targets digital infrastructure and fintech, alongside other regional priority sectors such as healthcare and aviation.

It will also serve as a regional base for the firm’s broader capital formation efforts across the Middle East. David Gross “Establishing a presence in Abu Dhabi is a natural next step, strengthening our ability to serve investors, support portfolio companies and engage with stakeholders to create long-term value together,” said David Gross, Managing Partner, Bain Capital. He noted that the region is playing an increasingly central role in global capital and company building.

To support the Bain Capital Abu Dhabi rollout, the firm formed a strategic partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office last year under the Fintech, Insurance, Digital and Alternative Assets (FIDA) cluster. The initiative aims to support the development of next-generation financial infrastructure and alternative investment platforms in the UAE.
