Abu Dhabi's Mubadala takes stake in China’s Luckin coffee with $1B deal
Private equity firm Centurium Capital has contributed to the $1 billion investment alongside Mudabadala’s minority stake into China’s Luckin Coffee.
Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment Company, has acquired a stake in China's Luckin Coffee through a $1 billion investment in partnership with private equity firm Centurium Capital. This strategic move comes amid the UAE's ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties with China, even amidst geopolitical tensions.
Mubadala, known for its extensive investments in China, has committed over $20 billion through more than 100 deals since 2015. The investment in Luckin, which will grant Mubadala a significant minority stake in the leading Chinese coffee chain, underscores the growing economic collaboration between the two nations.
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed visited Beijing in April to discuss expanding bilateral economic and diplomatic relations. Despite China's increasing share of Mubadala's $385 billion assets under management, the United States remains the top investment destination, accounting for 44% of the fund's assets. Additionally, Mubadala recognizes the importance of US tech firms in helping the UAE achieve its global AI leadership goals.
