The partnership was signed between Sheikh Khalid Abdullah Al Khalili, Chairman of Jabreen Capital and Mr. Kevin Lim, Chairman and Founder, of EastBridge Group Singapore.

Highlighting the importance of the collaboration, Anwar Al Jabri, CEO of Jabreen Capital noted, “Jabreen Capital seeks to actively pursue and promote international partnerships. We aim to reach out to a variety of international markets, enticing sound investments both here and abroad. The South East Asia market is particularly attractive for a variety of reasons including favourable demographics, a growing middle class, as well as its proximity to major markets including Australia, China and India. We are pleased to enter into this strategic partnership with EastBridge Partners Singapore and begin serving our new market.”
As an Omani investment company, Jabreen Capital has its roots firmly anchored in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and has significant experience in unlocking value for its shareholders. The acquisition of a significant stake in EastBridge Partners Singapore will further enable Jabreen Capital to tap into new investment opportunities, particularly in South East Asia. EastBridge Partners Singapore focuses on mid-market investments and targets proprietary transactions, an area where the team has a substantial competitive advantage due to their longstanding experience, network and reputation in the market.

As an institutional investor with significant private equity experience in the Middle East, we foresee Jabreen Capital adding significant value to EastBridge Partners Singapore. This partnership will act as a bridge between the Middle East and South East Asia. We will work closely together in raising funds, executing deals and creating value in portfolio companies and enhancing business.”
