A Legacy in Motion
Al Nowais Group is one of the UAE’s first Emirati business houses, a multi generational family office headquartered in Abu Dhabi, built on four decades of trusted relationships with the country’s most consequential institutions. We are not a fund or a consultancy. We are a family that has spent forty years opening the right doors and building relationships that outlast market cycles.
Our portfolio spans oil and gas, energy infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, artificial intelligence, sustainability and water technology, both onshore and offshore, delivered through a curated network of specialist partners selected for their capability, integrity and alignment with the UAE’s national vision.
We champion in-country manufacturing, invest in Emirati talent and build for the long term because that’s the only way we know how.

Our Two Pillars
Partnerships
Relationships are at the heart of everything we build. Over four decades, we have developed a network of trust across the UAE’s most consequential institutions and when we partner with a company, that network becomes theirs. We work alongside international organisations to establish their presence in this market quietly, carefully and with the long term in mind. From registrations and pre-qualifications to introductions that matter, we provide the foundation that allows our partners to grow roots in this country, not just gain a foothold. We are selective about who we partner with. That selectivity is what makes the partnership meaningful.
Investment
We invest in people and ideas we believe in, not to build a portfolio, but to build something lasting. Al Nowais Group’s investment philosophy is rooted in the same principles that have guided the family for generations: patience, conviction and a genuine commitment to the success of those we stand behind. We look for opportunities where our presence adds more than capital, where our relationships, market knowledge and institutional standing can meaningfully accelerate what a partner is building.
Two Entities – One Family.
We operate through two distinct but complementary entities, each with a defined mandate, united by a shared set of values.
Al Nowais Group
The original entity. Built on relationships that predate the modern UAE energy sector. We work with international companies that are committed to this market, helping them navigate it, connect within it and establish themselves for the long term.
Al Nowais Capital Ventures
The investment vehicle. Where we put skin in the game. Focused on opportunities where our presence means more than money, where we can open doors, accelerate growth and build something worth holding.
