Investcorp and the American University of Bahrain (AUBH) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen educational collaboration and foster innovation across Bahrain.

The agreement was formalised during a ceremony on Sunday at the AUBH campus, attended by senior officials from both organisations. The MOU reflects the shared vision of expanding educational opportunities and supporting advancements in research and community engagement projects.

Leaders emphasise partnership

The signing was led by Yusef Al Yusef, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp, and William D. Hurt, Chief Operating Officer of AUBH. Also present was Jordana Semaan, Head of HR for the GCC and Asia and Global Head of Culture and Development for Investcorp.

Speaking at the event, Al Yusef highlighted Investcorp’s commitment to preparing future leaders. “By partnering with AUBH, we are investing in the success of students across Bahrain and the region, providing them with tools and resources to navigate a rapidly changing global landscape,” he said.

Hurt expressed similar enthusiasm, stating the collaboration would strengthen the university’s educational experience. “This partnership will enhance student learning and also contribute to Bahrain’s economic and social development. Together we aim to build an ecosystem that promotes creativity and lifelong learning,” he said.

Supporting education in Bahrain

The partnership will focus on advancing academic programmes, developing research initiatives, and engaging in community-oriented projects. Both institutions view the MOU as a step towards creating a dynamic environment where students are empowered to excel and contribute meaningfully to society.

The agreement marks another step in Bahrain’s efforts to link educational institutions with private sector expertise to prepare students for the demands of a global economy.
