Area Profiles and
Area
Surveys (.pdf Survey form) are executive summary presentations about business locations.
These may include maps, links to commercial real estate listings of
available industrial and office sites and buildings, investment project
news, information about existing businesses in the area, labor market
information, and investment incentives. Such content makes it easy to
search for relevant locations, as shown by our
Area Search
service. |
We can also highlight recent project
announcements, advertising, and promotional events as well as independent
consultant research reports about communities or industry clusters.
Our "Professional Site Selection Tour" service at
www.OnTheShortList.com organizes
business location research work and Area Reports through consultant "familiarization tours",
and our "Meeting Point" work pre-schedules B2B introductory meetings at
events. |
|
We specialize in personal, independent introductions to
relevant professional service providers such as business location strategy
consultants and our many economic development contacts according to the
project interests of the executives we serve.
We can also privately coordinate executive visits to one
or more business locations when
planning an investment project or seeking local business alliances.
Please
contact us to discuss such services or introductory referrals. |

October 18, 2005 The
Conference Board of Canada has issued a critical "Performance
and Potential" report questioning whether Canada is actually living up
to expectations relative to other developed countries in terms of
productivity, investment, global trade and other factors on the basis of
competitive performance since the mid-1990's. Whether one agrees with
their conclusions or not, the report provides a different perspective and
analysis of Canada's strengths and weaknesses relative to competing
countries around the world. |

June 30, 2005 -
Congratulations to Woodstock, Ontario and Oxford County for winning the C$800
million Toyota assembly plant project, estimated to create 1300
new direct jobs. Refer to the Toyota
press release about the project, which will assemble their RAV4 sport
utility vehicle . Toyota also announced a C$39 million expansion
project for Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc. in Delta, British Columbia.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) already employs 4300 at their
Cambridge, Ontario assembly plant. The new Toyota plant is the first
greenfield automotive assembly plant in Canada in nearly 20 years, and
proximity to the existing Canadian auto plant was reportedly a key factor in
the site selection process.. |
| Many
biotechnology and other life sciences companies from Canada,
as well as US and Canadian economic development agencies looking to attract biotech
companies to their research, science and technology parks were among
the BIO exhibitors or attendees in San
Francisco (2004) and Philadelphia (2005). BIO 2006 will be in Chicago,
where we are based. |

Explanation of column
headings above
- Organizations are generally sorted in
postal code order so that locations which are geographically close to each
other will usually (not always) be grouped together. This is a
selective directory, even though the state directory is more comprehensive
than the very selective one we will maintain at the regional level to
highlight the organizations which support our work or are found to be of
frequent interest for the convenience of the executives and business
advisors we serve.
- Scope : is the area served by the
organization, and postal code. We may include thumbnail maps which
expand to show information about participating areas, or link directly to
good maps or GIS research tools on the organization's website.
- Contacts : relationship leader at GDI
Solutions for maintaining information about contacts in this area.
If there is a working relationship through our various GUIDE services, we
also list the key organization contact, phone, and optional e-mail.
- Website and other resources : Aside from
the main website link, we may include other direct links to highlight
special features of expected interest to executives, especially if they
might not be readily noticed by just visiting the website. A good
example of this is when relevant content is actually maintained somewhere
else, such as a regional website rather than the local one, so that one
would otherwise need to know to follow the available links between the
websites.
|
The default
for all other columns is "No" unless the organization supports our work.
- Survey : areas which have responded to our
GUIDE Network Survey, with a link to their response for convenience if
published (optional) and highlighted at the top. This is often
useful as an executive summary at the "long list" stage of location
selection.
- Profile : participates in our GUIDE Area
Profile service (also highlighted at the top of the page). This
involves a closer working relationship to maintain more timely and
detailed knowledge of the area throughout the year, and also involves a
more detailed executive summary on the website, with many relevant links.
If there are significant incentives in the area, we may also link to a
GUIDE Incentives Profile.
|
|
All area representatives are encouraged to reply to the free
GUIDE Network
Survey, which consists of very basic questions to help maintain
timely knowledge about many areas for referral purposes. Area
representatives : see
how to
participate. Current service pricing
is listed on the
Order Form (Adobe Acrobat .PDF file). Refer also to any
special offers. Please
help us to help you by supporting our work.
Executives who use this service are encouraged to
respond to our free
Executive Survey, which helps us to continuously improve.
|
The presence, absence,
or position of any organization on these lists,
or their position on the lists, does not imply any endorsement or opinion about their services,
nor by them about our own. The selections are simply intended to be helpful to executives who may be
unaware of such contacts, or how to reach their websites quickly.
Please contact us directly for relevant introductions or any additional
contacts, market knowledge, and research which we don't publish. |
|
Contact information for relationship leaders at GDI Solutions : |
|
We develop and maintain
working relationships among participating area representatives - economic
development organizations - and professional service providers as well as
senior corporate executives who are responsible for the planning of major
projects such as new, relocated, expanded or consolidated offices,
factories, distribution centers or other operations. |

This directory selectively highlights
participating economic development organizations and professional service
provider contacts in Canada by including more relevant links to useful
content than just the local website. We also maintain directories for other
NAFTA and global regions.
The directory may also identify other contacts of potential interest to
executives and business advisors
on a selective basis, as in the case of the following initial examples.
We work together with EDO's and investment promotion agencies (IPA's) to share timely knowledge about the benefits of
their areas as we serve potential investors and advisors who are responsible
for foreign direct investment (FDI) projects such as new factories or
offices, expansion projects, business relocation, and consolidation of
operations as in post-merger integration situations. |
