  • Investcorp Announces Final Close of Golden Horizon Cooperation Fund at $750 Million

    13 Oct 2025

    Investcorp, a leading global alternative investment firm, is pleased to announce the successful final close of its Golden Horizon Cooperation Fund (the “Platform”), launched in collaboration with China Investment Corporation (CIC), one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds. The Platform secured commitments from a diverse group of global institutional investors and LPs, including Jada Fund of Funds (a subsidiary of PIF), Saudi Venture Capital, Silk Road Fund, and Bank of China, among others spanning the GCC, Asia, and China.

    The Platform is focused on investing in high-growth, profitable companies across Consumer, Healthcare, Transportation & Logistics, and Business Services sectors in the GCC and China. Its objective is to foster cross-border expansion and value creation, with Investcorp and our Chinese partners providing strategic support to help portfolio companies scale and deepen commercial ties between the two regions.

    To date, the Platform has completed three investments in the GCC: NourNet, a leading ICT services provider in Saudi Arabia, serving over 1,500 clients across more than 20 industries; Trukker, MENA’s largest on-demand digital trucking aggregator, operating across the Middle East and Europe with over 70,000 trucks and 1,200 B2B enterprise clients; and Salla, Saudi Arabia’s leading SaaS e-commerce enablement platform, which has facilitated over $9 billion in e-commerce GMV since 2020 and currently supports more than 100,000 active merchants.

    This milestone underscores Investcorp’s commitment to building strategic investment bridges between the GCC and China, seeking to unlock long-term value for investors and portfolio companies alike.

    Operations Commercial Aircraft, Airbus; Carsten Liesener – Global Head Sales
    & Operations, Siemens Smart Infrastructure; Charles Huguet – Senior Vice
    President General Procurement, Airbus 

    As part of the
    framework agreement, Siemens will deploy its scalable and proven
    decarbonization solutions, tailored to the selected sites, to support Airbus in
    reaching the target of 80 kt CO2e abated annually from 2030.

    The project will be led by Siemens’ Buildings
    business and supported by Capgemini, combining the companies’ vast expertise in
    sustainability and digitalization to ensure the success and timely delivery of
    the project. 


    Decarbonization at
    scale: Scalable solutions for measurable impact


    Siemens will evaluate the sites and create
    and implement an overall decarbonization masterplan for the awarded sites,
    resulting in scalable solutions to reduce energy demand and carbon emissions.
    To accelerate the selection of the measures, Energy System Twins will simulate
    and help determine the best decarbonization roadmaps for the sites. The key
    elements that will enable this include decarbonization of heat production via
    heat pumps, energy efficiency upgrades, smart metering systems, on-site smart integration
    of renewable energy, and smart energy management systems to monitor, control,
    and optimize usage across the sites. These measures are designed to help Airbus
    achieve its targets of reducing energy consumption by 20 percent and Scope 1
    and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent through 2030, compared to 2015
    levels.

    Capgemini has been appointed by Siemens for
    the program to complete first phase consulting activities, governance
    definition, and support for project management and planning. Capgemini also brings
    its expertise in the digitalization and automation of the
    energy monitoring and measurement systems.

    “Our collaboration with Airbus is built on
    years of mutual trust and shared ambition. It highlights Siemens’ capability to
    deliver smart and scalable technologies and services to reduce the carbon
    footprint of Airbus. At Siemens, we’re committed to making the energy
    transition not only sustainable, but also achievable and scalable, so that
    Airbus and other industrial leaders can confront climate challenges while
    boosting operational resilience and long-term competitiveness,” said Susanne
    Seitz, CEO of Buildings at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.

    “We’re proud to be taking this important step
    toward making our operations more energy-efficient and future-ready.
    Collaborating with trusted partners is key in building a more resilient
    industrial footprint. The site-specific expertise from our Airbus colleagues in
    the U.K. and the U.S. combined with Siemens’ technical know-how will keep us on
    the path toward meeting our energy use and emission reduction targets,” said
    Florent Massou dit Labaquere, EVP Operations of Airbus Commercial Aircraft. 


    Roadmap to 2030

    The initial phase began in summer 2025 with the
    development of decarbonization roadmaps for each site. Engineering studies will
    guide the implementation, with infrastructure rollout starting in 2026. Siemens
    can also operate and maintain the new infrastructure, ensuring long-term
    efficiency and resilience.

    Siemens and Airbus have been working together
    for more than half a century. Key initiatives have included factory automation,
    industrial software, safety and security, building automation technology, and
    beyond. This new agreement builds on successful collaboration to support
    Airbus’ sustainability ambitions and achieve its targets for minimizing its
    operational environmental footprint.
