The rebranding marks a strategic shift to strengthen the Fund's position as an energy-focused multilateral pioneering financial institution in the MENA region.

In his address on this occasion, Prince Abdulaziz commended the Arab Energy Fund's board for its responsiveness and alignment with the decision by member states of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) to restructure the organization, amend its founding agreement, expand its activities, and rename it the "Arab Energy Organization." The Minister also outlined that the Fund's projects will support Arab member states in achieving their energy transition goals, taking into account their optimal energy mix and the challenges facing the sector, ensuring steady progress toward sustainable development.

The Arab Energy Fund, formerly known as APICORP, unveiled its new brand identity during an event celebrating the institution's 50th anniversary. The event was attended by UAE's Energy Minister Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Kuwait's Oil Minister Tariq Suleiman Al-Roumi, Libya's Oil and Gas Minister Khalifa Rajab Abdelsadeq, Qatar's Energy Minister and Qatar Energy CEO Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Bahrain's Oil Minister and Climate Envoy Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister for energy and Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani. Diplomats, industry leaders, and partners from across the region also attended the event.

The new logo symbolizes unity and boundless energy, with the rotating blades representing the ten member countries and the circular design reflecting the Arab Energy Fund's renewed focus on delivering both financial and social returns across the region. The new brand identity highlights the Fund's vision for a future driven by impactful investments in the MENA region.

As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the Arab Energy Fund marked the graduation of the first cohort of its inaugural 50+ Graduate Development Program.
