Contact us for
independent project assistance in confidence, or
for assistance promoting an area. We provide personal introductory referrals to our
contacts and other "short list" research or project
planning assistance according to the investment project interests
of the corporate executives and business advisors we serve.
We are
independent - not a government agency or investment promotion
agency.
We are also developing a related
European directory of professional service providers.
That includes site selection consultants, corporate real
estate firms, property developers, design and construction firms, project
management, tax advisors, labor market (HR) specialists, financial
incentives for investment projects, relocation services and other
specialists whose capabilities may be helpful when planning and implementing
projects.
We
welcome suggestions for additions or updates to this or our
Invest in Europe directory.

The Norway economic development
directory below (scroll down)
links selectively to the websites of Norwegian economic development organizations (EDO's).
These are also known as investment promotion agencies (IPA), local or
regional development agencies (RDA's), or as public-private partnerships
such as industrial or community development corporations which encourage
companies to invest in Norway.
The directory may also include major chambers
of commerce or national and local industry organizations and professional
associations which provide useful services or information for reference by
potential investors in their region or industry sector.
We may also include links to universities
associated with science and research parks or technology business
incubators, and to professional service providers. We selectively
provide executive summary content such as Area Profiles and Area Surveys to
highlight potential business locations and what differentiates them.
|
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.
Our
Professional Site Selection Tour and "Meeting
Point" services also introduce site selection
professionals who can
assist communities through special research trips ("inward visits" or
familiarization tours), pre-scheduled meetings at major events, and services
designed to support their competitive benchmarking analysis, investment
promotion strategies, and marketing programs.

We can also privately coordinate executive visits to one
or more business locations in Europe (or elsewhere in the world) when
planning an investment project or seeking local business alliances.
Please
contact us to discuss such services or introductory referrals. |

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 this 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
so that we work together to organize and share timely additional research
and content.
- SICR : organizations which participate in
our marketing and corporate relationship development work to find and
refer relevant projects as an independent professional service, whether as
a shared service or according to their specific targeting priorities.
- 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.
- Report : this is used to highlight
independent research about the area, such as directories of available
sites and buildings, or consultant reports about the area such as labor
market studies, cost comparisons, local market analysis, industry cluster
analyses, etc.
- Experience : this highlights information
related to investor experiences in the area, which may include consulting
reports, detailed testimonials, lists of companies in the area (and
surrounding areas), and examples of recent project announcements. If
there are significant industry clusters or special initiatives which
investors in the area may find to be beneficial, these can be highlighted
here to differentiate the area at a glance.

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. |
