A subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) has agreed to invest up to $1.5 billion in GLP, a leading global business builder and investment manager. The funding is intended to drive GLP’s next phase of growth, with an initial commitment of $500 million already earmarked to kickstart expansion efforts.
This strategic investment marks a deepening of the relationship between ADIA and GLP, following several years of successful collaboration at the fund level. It also serves as a strong endorsement of GLP’s ability to execute at scale and deliver consistent value across high-growth sectors. With the continued backing of its long-term shareholder consortium, GLP is well-positioned to accelerate its mission of building differentiated platforms in logistics, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy.
The timing of this investment is particularly significant. As global markets undergo rapid transformation driven by e-commerce, AI adoption, and the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions, GLP is doubling down on sectors that are not only expanding but reshaping the way economies function. ADIA’s capital will help GLP scale its operations in areas where demand is surging—such as last-mile logistics, hyperscale data centers, and clean energy infrastructure.
GLP’s approach to investment is thematic and forward-looking, targeting sectors with long-term structural tailwinds. The company has built a reputation for identifying emerging trends early and executing with precision—whether it’s enabling smarter supply chains, supporting the digital backbone of the global economy, or advancing the transition to low-carbon energy.
The initial $500 million deployment will be used to advance development across GLP’s core verticals, with a focus on expanding its footprint in key markets and deepening its technological capabilities. The remaining capital will be deployed over time, aligned with strategic milestones and growth opportunities.
