available for reference, the content is no longer being actively updated,

changes to the content and website design. No such change is foreseen at
this time (December 2010) - at least until the US economy improves. For now,
the focus of our work is reflected at

introduce
executives for free to valuable local market knowledge and professional
contacts as an independent global referral service (like a concierge in this
niche) through market research and the development of working relationships with:
- Top executives facing strategic choices and
capital investment decisions about
where they will do business : where to establish, acquire, expand, move or
restructure their operations or alliances as markets and plans change.
- Economic development professionals representing
communities and regions whose leaders are highly motivated to attract and retain
growing companies and develop globally competitive business clusters.
- Professional service providers who assist
executives with capital
investment project plans in North America, Europe, Asia or worldwide.
These may be local specialists or global experts in foreign direct
investment (FDI) projects worldwide.

State economic development professionals who
are responsible for attracting business investment and providing site
selection assistance to executives and their consultants were invited in
April 2006 to provide an informative article on this simple topic : "Why
should a business invest in your state?"
The article content and size
was entirely discretionary to share their point of view as a free service to
our 500,000+ visitors in 2006. This was entirely free - no advertising
commitments were involved.

for executives and advisors - not just website
content and links. Tell us what you need to find for your
project, and we will help you in confidence.
Although we make it easy to find thousands of useful
resources worldwide through this website, we primarily share market

their interests, such as well-qualified referrals. |
Please

We apply our research capabilities and extensive networks of
contacts and working relationships beyond the extensive published content of
this website. We are also experimenting with
Google Groups as another way to openly
share market knowledge. |
