Jolt Capital’s roadshow in the GCC countries

With the reopening of subscriptions for Jolt Capital IV, Jolt Capital organized in January 2023 a 3-day roadshow in the GCC countries to meet new potential LPs in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait.

The second day in Abu Dhabi was part of the official delegation led by French Minister of Economics, Finance and Industrial & Digital Sovereignty Bruno Le Maire). It was a unique opportunity for:

• Meetings with large Emirati asset owners.

• Discussions with the members of the UAE-France Business Council.

• Round of pitches during UAE-France Investors Meetup.

The third day in Kuwait was part of a “diwaniya” organized by the Global Diwan, an international club designed to connect Europe and the Arab World. We had the opportunity to meet a dozen Kuwaiti dignitaries from the largest institutional investors and the most prominent family offices, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Intisar AlSabah.

Among those discussions, we had the honor of meeting M. Ghanem Suleiman Al-Ghenaiman (pictured here, with Jean Schmitt), managing director of the Kuwait Investment Authority, the oldest sovereign wealth fund in the world (established in 1953).
