1 huge conglomerate of Abu Dhabi
IHC (International Holding Company) has increased its influence in ABU DHABI and throughout the UAE. It comprises approximately 1,500 subsidiaries. Its assets exceed $1.5 billion. The group is connected to key figures in the emirate. Experts discuss transparency and the boundaries between state and royalty assets. Against this backdrop, ABU DHABI is accelerating diversification, growing non-oil sectors, and investing in AI. The Gulf region is intensifying competition for capital, talent, and technology. Large state-linked entities are rapidly scaling deals and networks. This is changing the market and narrowing the space for the private sector.
