FDI Attraction

Many countries worldwide are competing to attract foreign direct investment into their locations in a world that is constantly disrupted by major political and economic challenges, including new demands in industries, innovation, and sustainability.

The future of investment locations in absolute terms is promising due to the specificity and competitive edge of each location. Investment demand attracts companies seeking such specificity or competitive edge. 

Yet, only the most innovative, forward-looking, and resilient investment locations would successfully reap the benefits of these emerging trends and significantly attract more investment projects.

The benefits of winning a foreign investment project are countless, such as enhancing competitive strength, injecting foreign capital, contributing to technology transfer, localizing industries, and creating job opportunities.

Recognizing some of those trends among the world’s economic challenges, we find the Middle East and African investment locations reacting to such trends and contributing significantly to the world’s economic cycle. They achieve this by offering fully industrialized sites, free zones, on-shore prebuilt facilities, industrial parks, as well as concrete infrastructure for various industries and their subsectors, such as heavy manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, IoT, and financial services.

We focus predominantly on opening investment opportunities in the Middle East and Africa to European investors. We are committed to delivering tailor-made investment attraction programs and awareness campaigns, acting as a bridge linking the European market to the Middle East and Africa region. Additionally, we serve as a gateway for European companies to enter the Middle East and African markets.

We offer various services and technical solutions specifically tailored to each investment location's value proposition, with the ultimate goal of attracting greenfield investment projects to the Middle East and Africa.

Prior to implementing FDI attraction programs, we begin by developing strategies on the priority sectors to target based on each location's competitive advantage, its edge over regional rivals, and, most importantly, the government’s ambition and growth goals. This approach ensures the successful attraction of FDI projects that significantly contribute to the location's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
