Dubai Investments will join founding investors Investbridge Capital (IBC), Centum and SABIS in the project.

    The Eversheds Sutherland team was led by UAE based partner Zeid Hanania, principal associate Hani Nassef and associate Ramzi Noursi with support from South Africa based partners Tanya Pollak and Venashrie Mannar.
