WHAT YOU GET

An honest and objective picture

Drawing on our experience working with investment promotion agencies worldwide, we know what high-performing agencies look like and what separates them from the rest. We help you assess your current performance, benchmark your activities against leading agencies and competitor locations, and translate these insights into clear priorities for improvement.

1. Organizational Evaluation

A review of your activities, capabilities, structure, and processes provides an objective assessment of your agency’s ability to attract and retain investment.

2. Investor Satisfaction Research

Independent interviews and surveys with investors reveal how companies truly perceive your location and the quality of support provided by your agency.

3. Competitive Benchmarking

You gain a clear comparison of your agency’s structure, activities, resources, and performance against competitor locations and leading investment promotion agencies worldwide.

4. Performance Communication & Stakeholder Engagement

You receive practical approaches for communicating results to stakeholders, strengthening support for your agency and building stronger collaboration around investment attraction.

5. Improvement Planning

A clear set of priorities and recommendations based on the evaluation and benchmarking findings allows you to focus on the actions that will have the greatest impact on your agency’s performance.

6. Advocacy

Your agency will be able to link its aftercare activities to a structured approach to advocacy, allowing you to enhance your location’s business environment in response to feedback from existing investors.

Who is it for

Built for organizations that compete for investment

Investment Promotion Agencies

You're measured on project wins and job creation. We help you move from broad promotion to targeted pursuit — identifying the investors most likely to choose your country or region and building the case that closes them.

Local & Metro

Economic Development Organizations

Limited budgets mean you can't chase every lead. We help you focus on the sectors and company types where your community has genuine pull — and build relationships that convert.

Designated Zones

Special Economic Zones & Industrial Parks

Your occupancy rates depend on attracting the right tenants. We help you define your positioning, identify expansion-stage companies that fit your offering, and reach decision-makers directly.
