Eurazeo has opened its first Middle East office in ADGM, the international financial center of Abu Dhabi. Managing director Adrien Pinelli leads the office, which is part of the investor relations team headed by Mathieu Teisseire. The office will serve as a hub for Eurazeo’s activities across the Middle East, bringing the firm closer to institutional investors, family offices, sovereign institutions, and strategic partners in the region.
Over the past decade, the Gulf has become an increasingly important region for Eurazeo, serving as both a source of long-term capital and a market where the firm has supported several portfolio companies as they expanded. Gulf investors are seeking to diversify and increase exposure to Europe’s mid-market economy. Co-CEOs Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing stated that Abu Dhabi’s status as a leading global financial centre and gateway to the wider Gulf makes it the natural location to support portfolio companies on the ground and build long-term partnerships.
The firm noted the UAE hosts the largest concentration of sovereign wealth capital in the world.
