The program's goal is to assess your region holistically and highlight specific community strengths in infrastructure, workforce preparedness, community leadership, cultural competence and intercultural communication - all essential to successfully attracting, securing and retaining international investments (FDI).

Beyond serving as an outstanding specialist marketing tool for your community, the certification process enables you to identify your community's specific strengths and challenges in FDI attraction and how best to leverage these in your EDO's FDI strategy.

Our project partner, James Blair's Navigator Consulting, is an international consulting firm with locations in the U. S. and Europe.
