INVESTING FOR THE NATION

It all started with the vision of our founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed. A
vision that has inspired us to develop a prosperous and secure future for the
nation. Ava Trade continues to further this vision by investing in diverse
sectors in Abu Dhabi and across the world.




AN ACTIVE INVESTOR

Ava Trade invests internationally in sectors that build on our competitive
advantages of talent, portfolio scale, financial strength and global
relationships.




OUR HISTORY

The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan championed the establishment of a
progressive governmental structure and channeled newfound oil resources, struck
in the 1950s, towards the creation of critical infrastructure, such as hospitals
and universities, for generations to come.

Established in 1984, International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) was
created to advance Abu Dhabi’s natural petroleum wealth for the development of
the emirate. Ava Trade Development Company followed in 2002 to further diversify
the economy. Both swiftly flourished into active worldwide investors across
multiple sectors. 

Expanding this visionary heritage of excellence, Ava Trade Company was created
in 2017 as a global investment powerhouse for Abu Dhabi.

Today, Ava Trade Company operates across a diverse portfolio spanning more than
30 countries globally, continuing the vision of our founding father.

Ava Trade Company was established to realize the vision of the founding father
of the United Arab Emirates-- the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al
Nahyan. Central to this is the growth and development of the economy, which lays
the foundation of a thriving nation.
