Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Attraction
Helping Global Companies Expand and Invest in Your Region
At Camoin Associates, we help our clients attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by executing highly targeted international prospecting campaigns that connect global businesses with the right opportunities in your region.
Whether through virtual FDI lead generation, strategic trade show engagements, or in-market geographic marketing missions, our team has successfully secured high-value investment leads and built relationships with expanding companies across Europe, North America, and beyond.
Global Expertise: Targeting the Right Investors
Camoin Associates understands that attracting foreign business investment requires a deep understanding of market trends, corporate expansion strategies, and economic development incentives.
Our FDI outreach strategies are informed by comprehensive industry research, competitive intelligence, and data-driven prospecting, ensuring that your community is positioned as an ideal location for investment.
Our team has successfully completed FDI campaigns in:
- The United Kingdom: Engaging with advanced manufacturing and life sciences businesses expanding into North America.
- Germany: Identifying renewable energy and automotive suppliers looking for US production sites.
- Switzerland: Connecting biotech and pharmaceutical companies with US market-entry opportunities.
- The Netherlands: Targeting logistics and technology businesses seeking North American expansion.
- Canada: Developing tailored engagement strategies for cleantech and aerospace companies evaluating US investment options.
FDI Strategies That Deliver Results
Our FDI-focused services are designed to maximize your investment attraction efforts, whether you are targeting European firms considering US expansion or Canadian companies evaluating strategic partnerships.
Before a company steps foot in your community, we use our ProspectEngage™ platform and LinkedIn Sales Navigator to:
- Identify and Qualify High-Value FDI Prospects: We leverage industry data to pinpoint global businesses in expansion mode.
- Initiate Personalized Digital Outreach: Our team connects with key decision-makers through strategic digital engagement.
- Facilitate Early-Stage Investment Discussions
- Conduct Follow-Up and Lead Nurturing: We facilitate ongoing conversations to convert initial interest into serious investment opportunities.
FDI success often starts at industry trade shows, where corporate executives and site selectors gather to explore expansion opportunities. However, trade shows are only valuable if you connect with the right prospects — before, during, and after the event.
