National Development Fund, HDIB and Mubadala Sign MoU to expand investment opportunities in Greece

The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the Investopia conference, further strengthening the framework for cooperation between Greek development institutions and one of the leading international investment organisations.

The MoU was signed by Giannis Papachristou, Chief Executive Officer of the National Development Fund; Meera Al Suwaidi, Executive Director of Government Partnerships at Mubadala; Antigoni Lymperopoulou, Chief Executive Officer of the HDIB; and Haris Lampropoulos, Chairman of the HDIB. The signing ceremony was attended by Nikos Papathanasis, Alternate Minister of National Economy and Finance.

Cooperation Framework and Investment Opportunities

Under the terms of the agreement, the National Development Fund joins the existing cooperation framework between the HDIB and Mubadala, established in 2022. The objective is to facilitate Mubadala’s participation in investment opportunities associated with the Greek business and investment landscape.

The scope for cooperation covers three key areas:

• Companies within the HDIB’s portfolio: Businesses in which the Hellenic Development Investment Bank holds direct investments, as well as companies backed by investment funds in which the HDIB has invested.
• Companies and projects associated with the National Development Fund: Investment opportunities linked to the Fund’s portfolio that may attract international capital.
• Joint investment initiatives: Other co-investment opportunities to be jointly assessed by the HDIB and the National Development Fund.

This framework enables the exploration of potential investments by Mubadala in Greek companies and projects, without implying any automatic commitment to execute specific investments.

Focus on Mobilising Private Capital

The agreement forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen cooperation between public development institutions and international investors, with the aim of mobilising additional private capital for the Greek economy. At the same time, it reinforces the role of the National Development Fund in maximising the value of public assets, fostering investment synergies, and generating long-term value.

The expansion of the cooperation framework with Mubadala therefore establishes an additional channel for exploring international investment opportunities in Greece, leveraging the HDIB’s existing investment network and the capabilities of the National Development Fund.
