Established on 3 May 2006 under the Law No. 11 of 2006 issued by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to generate long-term wealth and value for Dubai.[7][8] It now has commercial companies and investments in 87 countries and 6 continents.[9]

The Government of Dubai in 2007 transferred majority stakes in Emirates Bank International (EBI), National Bank of Dubai (NBD),[10] Dubai World Trade Center, Emirates National Oil Company,[11] Dubai Aluminium Company, Emirates Airlines,[12] dnata, and CBME to Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD). Additionally, minority stakes of Emaar Properties (EMAAR),[11][12] Dubai Islamic Bank, Commercial Bank of Dubai, Dubai Ice Plant & Cold Stores Company, and Dubai Development Company were also transferred to ICD.[3] In 2007, ICD also acquired Borse Dubai.[13]

Subsequently, in 2009, Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority,[14] Emaratech, and aswaaq were transferred to ICD by the Dubai Government. National Bonds Corporation became a subsidiary of ICD in 2010.[15] In 2012, ICD acquired Smartstreams Technologies Group Limited and a controlling stake in Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).[16] In 2014, Atlantis The Palm was acquired, followed by the purchase of a controlling stake in South Korean construction firm Ssangyong Engineering and Construction, Mandarin Oriental New York, and W Washington D.C. Hotel in 2015.[17][18]

Also that year, ICD took control of Flydubai[19] and Kerzner International Holdings,[20] while establishing Ithra Dubai, a property management and asset development subsidiary to manage strategic real estate assets.[21][22]

In 2016, ICD acquired Porto Montenegro Marina and Resort located in the world heritage site Bay of Kotor from Montport Capital.[23][24] In 2017, ALEC Engineering and Contracting Limited was acquired by ICD.[3]

In October 2017, ICD listed a $200 million Sukuk on NASDAQ Dubai, its second conventional bond listing following the $300 million bond listing in 2014. In addition, two Sharia-compliant bonds, one worth $1 billion and another worth $700 million, were also listed on Nasdaq Dubai in 2017 and May 2014.[25][26]

In 2018, ICD acquired ISS Global Forwarding[27] and made DAE a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2019.[16] In 2020, the Government of Dubai transferred Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority to ICD.[28] In 2020, ICD sold the W Washington D.C. Hotel to independent owners,[29] established its ESG Management Committee, formalised its ESG Policy and Framework and commissioned the carbon footprint of its operations certified in line with the ISO 14064 Standard and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.[30] In 2022, ICD disposed of its controlling stake in South Korean construction firm Ssangyong Engineering and Construction, selling shares to Global Sae-A Group in October.[31][32] In 2023, ICD sold aswaaq to GMG in January[33] and Columbus Centre Corporation (Cayman), which owns Mandarin Oriental NY Hotel to Reliance Industries.[34]

During the period of 2007 - 2021, ICD subsidiaries carried out various other mergers and acquisitions.

In 2007, Emirates National Bank of Dubai (ENBD) was formed through the merger of EBI and NBD,[35] with a market capitalisation of over $11.3 Billion.[36][37] In the same year, the Government of Dubai consolidated its holdings in the Dubai Financial Market and Dubai International Financial Exchange to Borse Dubai,[38] which also acquired interest in the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq OMX.[39][40]

In 2010, dnata acquired Alpha Flight Catering Group, an in-flight caterer in the United Kingdom.[41] The following year, dnata purchased Travel Republic Group, an online travel agency based in the UK. [42]

In 2013, ENBD acquired the Egyptian business of French bank BNP Paribas for $500 million,[43] while dnata also obtained a controlling stake in Servair Airchef, an in-flight catering provider in Italy.[44]

In 2014, ICD divested 100% of its stake in Dubai Aluminium Company to Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) in a joint venture with Emirati Mubadala Investment Company.[45][46] Also that year, Emaar Malls shares were listed on the Dubai Financial Market.[47]

In 2015, Borse Dubai sold its $2.2bn stake in the London Stock Exchange,[48][49] while Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) acquired full ownership of Dragon Oil, an exploration and production company in Turkmenistan.[50] DAE divested its interest in American MRO provider StandardAero to New York-based private equity firm Veritas Capital.[51]
