Our eLearning courses

If you work in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Economic Development, or with Public Policy, you know how difficult it is to attract foreign companies to establish in your region.

Competition between economic hubs is fierce, each one trying to outsmart the other with bigger tax incentives, longer exempt periods, better employee education packages, lower wages, decreased red tape, favorable zoning, cheaper energy, etc. If these are the only tools in your FDI portfolio, you have joined a long rank of Investment Promotion Agencies that race each other to the bottom.

Equally, if your only strategy is to create manufacturing or service jobs, you may be serving sunset industries. As robots and AI will start replacing these jobs, you will want to make sure the companies and people who create and operate those robots and those AI tools are with you.

Be smart, and create your FDI strategy and action plan around innovation. Take back control of your future.
