| Recent Experience
President, BCI, a subsidiary of
Buck Consultants International
René Buck holds a degree in economic geography as well as
spatial planning from Nijmegen University, The Netherlands. After a
short academic career he started his own consultancy firm in 1985. His
contacts with many international firms at that time convinced him that there
was a strong need in the market for an independent practice to assist
corporate executives in a systematic and practical way with their
international location decision projects. He was right. BCI now
employs 70 professionals as Europe's leading independent location advisory
consultancy.
They serve corporate clients from the USA, the Far East,
and Europe. Projects are mainly carried out in Europe, including
Central and Eastern Europe, and sometimes beyond Europe. Services
include all aspects of the location decision process, including fact-finding
trips and incentives negotiations.
Apart from the head office in the Netherlands and an
office in The Hague, BCI maintains offices in all major European business
locations : Brussels, Frankfurt am Main, London, Madrid, Milan, and Paris.
René has also led his company during the last 17 years
into areas related to location advice, such as:
- definition of overall corporate real estate
strategies
- optimization of current network of facilities all
over Europe
- optimization of the supply chain structure
In order to provide the clients with the best service
package possible, Buck Consultants International has forged alliances with
The Wadley-Donovan Group and DEGW.
René has been a frequent speaker on the subject of
investment trends in Europe and the location selection process for
investment projects at events such as CoreNet Global (formerly IDRC), World
Business Forum, and MIPIM. Because of his in-depth knowledge of the
inward investment market he provides advice to companies and organizations
working on the demand side, like project developers, real estate investment
funds, and development agencies. Furthermore, René
has published many articles on inward investment in leading professional
magazines.
