Our global research work and network of contacts
in this market is reflected through the extensive content shared openly on
this website for free. There are many directories
of professional service providers by specialty and economic development
organizations (EDO's) by geographic region,
country, or state.
In many countries these are referred to as investment promotion agencies - IPA's
- or industrial development agencies.
Our global and regional contact directories
are selective rather than comprehensive, reflecting our judgment about the
content and links which may be of interest among the executives and advisors
we serve. State directories
are more comprehensive. |
The
Search button above
is available on all pages as a fast way to find relevant content about
business locations or services for capital investment plans anywhere in the
world. This is a custom Google site search tool that provides search
results the same was as for a general WWW search.
Area Profiles and
Area Survey
responses provide background information about specific business locations.
Service Profiles
summarize the professional capabilities of service providers in a globally
consistent way.

Maps,
GUIDE Tools or
Directories as
other ways to find content on specific topics by region or industry.

We help executives and business advisors to
research potential business locations which should be "on
the short list" (or be
considered for the initial
"long list" of places to research) for their investment projects, and
we offer relevant introductory referrals.
This helps both the companies and the communities.
The global
cross-border nature of our research and referral work is unique in this market. |
We are
independent
- not a government agency or investment promotion agency. Our role is
analogous to a concierge service,
personally helping executives to invest in the growth of their companies
anywhere.
We organize and share valuable market
knowledge and networks of contacts through targeted market research work in
anticipation of investor enquiries. We can also perform some custom
market research work in addition to our main focus, which is to introduce
well-qualified specialists.
