Our international network
3i in Europe
3i's Buyout, Growth Capital and Venture Capital businesses invest across Europe. This market, which is second only in size to the US, has progressed well over the past 12 months. 3i's strategy in Europe is focused on harnessing our strong regional presence and relationships with specialised teams for each business line and sector in which we operate. Our critical mass provides the market access and the capability to deliver.
3i in Asia
The market in Asia continues to develop and we believe that there are excellent opportunities to capture growth. The biggest opportunity for 3i in Asia is in Growth Capital. The opportunities look particularly encouraging in China and India, where strong economic growth is complemented by highly skilled work forces, entrepreneurial management teams and innovation. We also invest in established funds to build relationships and gain access to dealflow in specific markets in the region.
3i in the US
The US is the largest and most developed private equity and venture capital market in the world. To date, 3i has focused on the venture segment, investing in early and later stage situations where our international network can add value. The good relationships we have built with the major US technology corporates, our growing reputation with top tier syndicate partners and the insights gained from our presence in the US are critical to building and realising value from our venture portfolio in the US, in Europe and in Asia.
