| The new
fDi Atlas research tool
shares consistently structured local presentations about topics of
common interest in participating business investment locations. |
| US executives who are
considering new investments into other countries may want to network
among peers and professional service providers through organizations
such as the American Chambers of Commerce. For
convenience, we have provided a global
directory of the websites of American chambers for quick reference. |
| Similarly, executives
of other countries may wish to consider contact with Chambers in
US states and
cities - whether affiliated with the US Chamber of Commerce or
perhaps foreign chambers from their own country. There are also
various "expatriate" networks which may be helpful for both business and
personal insights from peers about living and doing business in other
countries. |
| The US Department of
Commerce produces industry research reports by their trade development
specialists. |
| Other national and
state economic development, trade and investment promotion organizations
may publish useful industry research reports for their areas. The
fDi Links
search tool can also be useful to quickly find fDi magazine articles
about many industry sectors. Refer to our global
directories or the search tool in the header
above to find such organizations, or use selective research tools such
as USA Search, Europe Search, or Media Search at
www.OnTheShortList.com or
the new Search: Americas regional and
state tools on this site. |
