Representative transaction

Senior loan for a sovereign agentic-AI platform

The situation. A sovereign-facing agentic-AI platform and secure-network programme in the UAE required senior debt to fund a public-purpose technology build with a sovereign-adjacent risk profile.

What we did. Matchpoint advised on the senior-loan financing, structuring the facility and positioning the sovereign-adjacent platform to lenders comfortable with public-purpose technology risk.

The outcome. The programme secured senior debt aligned to a sovereign-facing technology build.

Public Sector — frequently asked questions

Yes. The partner team carries senior experience from a UAE state water-and-electricity offtaker and a sovereign-backed investment portfolio, which informs its work with state-linked and public-sector clients.

Sovereign-adjacent and state-linked financings, public-purpose infrastructure and technology platforms, and structured capital for state-linked entities.

Twenty-three sectors across five groups: real estate, infrastructure and data centres; oil and gas, power and utilities, renewable energy, metals and mining and chemicals; industrials, business services, transportation and maritime; consumer and retail, food and beverage, healthcare and sports; and technology, media and telecom, the innovation economy, financial institutions, financial sponsors and the public sector.

Each sector page sets out the relevant transactions, leadership experience and advisory capabilities for that market.

Practice areas describe what we do — equity, debt, M&A, alternatives and execution. Industries describe who we serve. Most mandates combine both: a sector view and the right capital product.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.

Matchpoint undertakes corporate finance, financing, M&A and fund-placement mandates from USD 5m upwards, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation, capacity and a written engagement. The partner team has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions.
