About 3B

Values

What we hold to.

01

Productive capital

We judge a business by what it builds as well as by what it returns. Capital that creates capacity, employment and capability serves this region better than capital that only changes hands.

02

Conviction

Depth in a few sectors rather than presence in many, and full commitment where we commit - capital, time, attention and expertise.

03

Focus

We invest where we understand the business and can be genuinely useful to it.

04

Speed

We decide quickly and answer plainly, whether the answer is yes or no.

05

Proximity

We are from this region and we operate in it. Our capital and our people are here; our network reaches well beyond.

06

Partnership

Our involvement begins at investment rather than ending there. We work alongside the teams we invest in and share the relationships we have built, at the level each business finds useful.

Healed

Clinics, diagnostics and medicine closer to the people who need them.

Healthcare & Pharma

The region

Why here.

This is where we are from

The firm, its people and its capital are based here, and the businesses we invest in are our neighbours as well as our investments.

A region building capacity

The Kurdistan Region and Iraq are investing beyond oil, from manufacturing and healthcare to power and digital infrastructure.

Ownership that stays

Capital in this region has often been short-term. We take positions we intend to hold, and we aim to be the last owner a good business needs.

International partners

Investing in Iraq? Start with a local owner.

We co-invest alongside international investors, operators and brands entering Iraq, and stay invested beside them. You bring capital, technology or a proven model; we bring execution, licensing, relationships and a long-term commitment to the market.
