DUBAI, March 18, 2023
Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investor Mubadala said its key unit - Mubadala Business Management Services - has been rebranded to Solutions+ as part of its new strategy.
Witth this, Solutions+, a fully-owned Mubadala company, is poised to become the next UAE national champion in shared corporate services, facilities management, entertainment and customer services.
The new brand positions the company as a strategic shared services and advisory firm whose expertise covers vital business functions and outsourced shared services.
The core offerings of Solutions + will continue to power the back-office engine of major companies in the UAE and internationally - driving change, progress, and value through vital infrastructure functions, ranging from operations to digital services.
To support further growth and expansion, Solutions+ will add new capabilities including sustainability services, such as ESG assessments for reporting, smart building optimization and decarbonization tools, to help clients support the UAE in achieving its Net Zero goals, it stated.

With an average footfall of over two million visitors a year across its venues, ADEC provides leading sports and leisure opportunities through a portfolio of managed sports and entertainment facilities.
Commenting on the launch of the new brand, Homaid Al Shimmari, Chairman of Solutions+ and Deputy Group CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, said: "For the past decade, Mubadala’s MDC Business Management Services has flourished as the UAE’s leading shared services company, supporting Mubadala and its progress.

On the rebranding, Solutions+ CEO Nasir Al Nabhani said: "This milestone signifies far more than the unveiling of a new name and brand identity. Solutions+ is marking the next stage of our journey with a new strategy to enhance our service offerings, expand into new service sectors, and further grow our client base."
