Welcome to the website of the Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC). I trust you will find here all the information you need about the organization and its specialized investment strategy.
ATIC has been established with a very clear purpose: to make significant investments in the advanced technology sector, locally and internationally, with a view to delivering long-term economic and social benefits to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
While this sounds like an ambitious mandate, how we see it working in practice is actually quite simple.
ATIC will identify long-term investment opportunities in the advanced technology sector, ensure they align with our specific risk and return requirements, and if they do, seek to realize such investments efficiently and effectively. We envisage long-term economic and social benefits accruing to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in the form of direct financial returns such as dividends, and in the partnership opportunities these investments will generate in the future.
Advanced technology is a high-value, knowledge-based industrial sector aligned with the Emirate's broader economic diversification ambitions. In addition, the capital-intensive nature of the sector is well-suited to the Abu Dhabi government's well established philosophy of patient, long-term investment. For a government capital investment organization based in Abu Dhabi, the advanced technology sector is a perfect long-term fit.
ATIC believes it is in its best interests to make significant investments in the emerging advanced technology sector now, locally and internationally, to generate significant financial returns and enhance the potential for commercial synergy in this attractive industrial sector in the future.
