About Kurdistan Foresight
Kurdistan Foresight is a public-interest initiative that strengthens the Kurdistan Region’s economy and private sector by institutionalizing research and data in policy and investment decisions.
We publish Kurdistan’s economic story in a Quarterly Magazine, convene an Annual Conference to surface issues and solutions, and provide investors with clear and comparable information to guide their decisions. We also steward a network of local, regional, and international investors and support young entrepreneurs by training, mentoring, and connecting their ideas to the market.
Our mandate is to make the Kurdistan Region forward-looking, investment-ready, and delivery-focused through independent research, accurate insights, and disciplined, time-bound review.
Our Vision
By 2030, the Kurdistan Region will be recognized as forward-looking, investment-ready, and development-led; where choices are guided by evidence.
