| State economic
development professionals in the United States have been invited to provide
informative articles reflecting their experience, point of view, and facts on a simple topic : "Why should a business invest
in your state?" |
Please
contact us for assistance with business expansion plans anywhere. This is an
independent referral and research service
for executives and advisors. Tell us what you need to find for your
project, and we will help you in confidence - like a concierge who organizes
market knowledge and contacts for quick and flexible response to needs. |

Their
2006 articles are linked below,
with Adobe .pdf copies available to download, and these articles can be updated by them at any time on request
to keep the content timely.
Links are also
provided to their websites, along with contact and related information.
We have also
provided links below to our regional and state directories of local economic
development agencies plus our content which highlights specific areas
within the states. |
Our
USA Search feature at
www.OnTheShortList.com can be used to selectively search the
websites of US state economic development agencies as a convenient research
tool. Similar research tools are the
Area Search
(areas within states),
CRE Search
(commercial real estate),
Event Search
(associations, trade shows), and
Media Search
(publications). |
| If you find
the articles or other content to be helpful, please let them know how you found it. |
We also
welcome
comments and suggestions to improve the articles or our research work. |
| These articles
are prepared by professionals who are responsible for the attraction of
business investment projects to their state, such as for new offices,
factories, distribution centers, etc. These articles are not edited to
reflect our own research, experience, or point of view. We just
reformat them to fit into our website in a consistent way. |
Please let us
know if there are other topics that you would like these or other articles to cover,
or if you feel that any updates or corrections are needed. Comments
based upon personal experience as an executive or professional advisor responsible for the planning
of investment projects anywhere are welcome. |

Partners4Technology
The International
Business Introduction Service
for Technology-Led Business Cluster Development
Background
Information about this unique B2B service
which collaborates globally with local economic development
programs
such as business retention, expansion, trade, and cluster
initiatives
to introduce executives to potentially relevant business
contacts
according to their specified interests and preferences
without necessarily waiting to meet at networking events.

"The
Professional Site Selection Tour" will organize and share brief
field research reports about potential business locations in cooperation
with professional "site selection" consultants. These are
similar to "familiarization tours", except that participation is more
selective as working trips to research the areas involved, including
meetings with local business leaders, with a published report as well as
private feedback about the visit. The new website
provides some unique
search features, such as the Area Search,
USA Search, CRE Search, etc. These tools make it easy for executives and
their advisors to selectively
search relevant websites for additional details beyond the executive summary
presentations
and links to relevant content which we provide. |

images of recent ads, with links to the full image and searchable ad text,
can be highlighted here and in other ways for quick reference when relevant.
Ask about our "Ad Recall" service, which is relevant to many
pages other than this one. |
We can also
easily highlight potential business locations or service providers through
banners, buttons, or logo images as appropriate, so that they appear on
relevant pages, but we do not publish "run of site" or animated banner ads
on this website. |
The function
of our Ad Recall service is to make it easy for our visitors to recognize
familiar ads or logos and brand images at a glance, somewhat like the role
of product packaging or point of sale merchandising displays in a store to
attract attention and interest. |
