relevant directory listing |
We have also
added a new listing for investment
support in Afghanistan, where new industrial parks and infrastructure
are being developed as the country is rebuilt. |
| When preparing
GUIDE Network Survey responses, good examples to consider would be the
recent additions listed above, or the one from
Location : Switzerland .
Published responses become easy to find quickly through our Google
site search feature whenever the content is
relevant to the interests of an executive or professional business advisor. |
We have
temporarily listed some of our many personal contacts just to
demonstrate the potential value of this service to highlight their areas.
These examples will be removed unless updated information is received for
publication through the Survey process. Refer also to our new service
at www.OnTheShortList.com to
arrange consultant research visits. |
| See also
GUIDE Area Profiles and
regional directory lists of contacts for use by executives and their
professional advisors, such as
location consultants. GUIDE Area Profiles
provide executive summary presentations with more community profile details than the Survey
responses below, with more links to content of frequent interest to executives.
Area Profiles involve a closer working relationship throughout the year. SICR participation supports our corporate relationship
work for relevant
referrals. |
See the
further explanation of this section below, or the
Survey form.
There are also
GUIDE Service Profiles describing the scope of services, specialties,
experience and capabilities of professional service providers, including
those who provide
services for economic development organizations. There are also
extensive directory
lists of professional service providers for reference by executives.
Firms may appear in both global lists and regional or state directories as
appropriate, according to their known capabilities. |

There are thousands of economic development organizations worldwide.
Many of their websites can be found quickly and easily through
selective contact lists
we maintain for the convenience of executives and professional advisors who
use this website for reference.
Some areas choose to use our GUIDE Network Survey process to not only share
basic information about their areas with us (free), but also to summarize
and share it openly through our website. The Survey responses briefly
highlight why an area may be of special interest for a potential project.
We also provide
GUIDE Area Profiles
and Service Profiles through
a closer working relationship to
share additional knowledge, contacts, and information sources for some areas
so that it is easier for executives and their advisors to recognize why an area may be worth consideration for
an investment project, and find the information they need. |
GUIDE (Globally Uniform Investment Data & Experience) involves a variety of
small services to organize and present timely knowledge about business
locations and professional service providers in a globally consistent way.
This supports our own referral work, which reflects more market knowledge
than we can openly publish, as we independently reach executives and
advisors to support their project interests.
It also makes such knowledge conveniently available to executives and
advisors. This shared market knowledge will grow as areas choose to
actively participate.
There is a small fee for the work involved to publish Survey replies, as per
the Order Form which
summarizes our GUIDE and SICR services for economic development. |
