The progressive diversification and expansion of Alpha Dhabi's investment portfolio have played a pivotal role in enhancing revenue generation and contributing to the growth.

H.E. Mohamed Thani Murshed Ghannam Al Rumaithi, Chairman of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: 'We remained focused on building scale, creating synergies, and enabling innovation in the first half of 2025 to offer investors access to a diverse range of premium assets that matter to Abu Dhabi's economy. Innovation and sustainable growth remain the cornerstones of our true foundation as we invest with purpose and help build a resilient, future-ready economy for the UAE's sustained growth and long-term prosperity.'
Eng. Hamad Al Ameri, Managing Director and Group CEO of Alpha Dhabi Holding PJSC of Alpha Dhabi Holding, said: 'We have delivered another strong half-year, adding strategic investments in sectors we believe will support in shaping the future. Our fundamentals remain sound, our partnerships are growing, and the results speak for themselves, with a 34% rise in adjusted EBITDA, reaching AED 8.7 billion. We are well-positioned to keep building on this momentum, with growth remaining our top priority – in revenue, acquisitions, and profitability, as well as in capabilities, innovation, and impact – as we push the boundaries of what is possible throughout the rest of 2025 and beyond.'
Alpha Dhabi's increasingly diversified portfolio—spanning multiple geographies and forward-looking sectors—continues to serve as a foundation for sustained growth. As the Group advances its strategic focus on sustainable business models, broadening revenue streams, and driving value creation through targeted investments, notable contributions include revenue of AED 4.6 billion generated from outside the UAE by ADH's portfolio companies.
