| The table below is provided for
convenience to help professionals find the websites of leading companies in
the region, and to help executives find other companies and the local area
representatives who support direct investment in their location.
We welcome additional
suggestions of major or fast-growing companies which are headquartered
in the region, or have invested in major subunits there.
Typically we will only list companies with more than
250 employees worldwide or 100 employees at the location of a major subunit,
since our focus is on serving companies of sufficient size and growth rate
to create more than 50 new jobs within 3 years when they set up operations
in new locations. |
The presence or absence of any organization on these lists,
or their position on the lists, does not imply any endorsement or opinion about their
products or services,
nor by them about our own. The list also does not indicate whether or
not we maintain relationships with such companies, or know anything about
their investment plans. The selections are simply intended to be helpful to
professionals who may be
unaware where such companies are located, or how to reach their websites quickly
for more information. This can support professional services,
investment promotion activities, and investor retention or "aftercare"
activities to stay informed about the companies. If
you need a database of companies, sources are in the
Research section. |
| For
convenience, at the bottom of this page, we
have also included links to sources for company research, company lists for
other regions, and global lists of professional service providers and area
representatives for investment attraction and retention.
Please let us know if you discover any obsolete listings (such as from
M&A activity, relocations, closures, etc.) or broken website links so that
we may update our records. |
We have also
provided columns to allow for direct links to the website of the local area
representatives where the company headquarters or major subsidiary is
located, and to the
GUIDE Area Profile of that area, if available.
Refer also the sections on Corporate
Participants , Projects, and
Referral Highlights. |
