UAE national security advisor Sheikh Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan (TBZ) has become the commercial leviathan of the UAE, with extensive business interests that make him a quietly dominant figure on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).
Tahnoun’s $1trn-plus investment empire, mixing private and public funds, is in full expansion mode. Investments by his main vehicle, Royal Group Holding, and its numerous offshoots cover a broad range of sectors. One recent focus has been artificial intelligence (AI), a sector with clear national security implications.
GSN has been following a rapid process of restructuring and reorganisation of this empire and the identities of those individuals who work most closely with him, including his powerful Bani Fatima brothers.
GSN's coverage includes a series of organisation charts – covering Royal Group Holding, Group 42, Q Holdings, Chimera Investments and 2PointZero – to help explain the links between these business interests.
