DUBAI, June 19, 2026. Stankevicius, the global investment advisory and brokerage firm, today announced that it has signed a strategic agreement with Gate Ventures, a UAE based investment firm, to jointly facilitate investment deals for large scale mergers and acquisitions across major corporations and landmark developments in the United Arab Emirates.
The agreement establishes a framework through which the two firms will originate, structure, and execute high value transactions, combining the global advisory and capital relationships of Stankevicius with the deep local presence and market access of Gate Ventures across the UAE.
A Strategic Agreement for UAE Dealmaking
Under the agreement, Stankevicius and Gate Ventures will work together to identify and advance mega mergers and acquisitions involving leading UAE corporations, as well as major real estate and infrastructure developments. The collaboration is designed to connect international capital with high quality opportunities in one of the world's most active deal markets, while ensuring that every transaction is structured with discipline, discretion, and full regulatory compliance.
The partnership brings together complementary strengths. Stankevicius contributes its international network of institutional investors, sovereign funds, and family offices, alongside its experience advising on and executing complex cross border transactions. Gate Ventures contributes its established relationships within the UAE, its understanding of the local regulatory and commercial landscape, and its access to corporations and developers seeking capital and strategic partners.
Targeting Mega M&A and Landmark Developments
The two firms intend to focus on transactions of significant scale, spanning controlling stakes in major UAE corporations, large real estate and mixed use developments, and strategic recapitalisations. By aligning origination with execution, the partnership aims to move efficiently from opportunity to completion, giving both buyers and sellers a clear and credible route to closing.
The United Arab Emirates continues to attract record levels of international capital, driven by its strategic position, business friendly environment, and ambitious national development agenda. Stankevicius and Gate Ventures believe that this momentum, combined with a growing pipeline of corporate and development opportunities, creates an ideal environment for disciplined and well structured dealmaking.
Leadership Statement
"This agreement marks an important step in expanding our presence across the United Arab Emirates," said Paulius Stankevicius, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Stankevicius. "Gate Ventures brings exactly the kind of local depth and relationships that complement our global reach. Together we are well positioned to facilitate transactions of real significance for major UAE corporations and developments, and to connect them with the international capital they deserve."
Both firms expressed confidence that the partnership will unlock a substantial pipeline of opportunities and deliver lasting value to clients and counterparties on both sides of each transaction.
