17 FDI Attraction Today The Model Continues to Evolve. Until 70s Facilitation 80s Image building / Communication 90s Targeting Today Solutions POLICIES Liberalize FDI regimes Reduce barriers to inward investment Strengthen standards of treatment for foreign investors Enhance functioning of markets Actively seek to attract FDI by Marketing their countries Establishment of investment agencies Proactive approach towards attracting FDI Targets foreign investors at sector and firm level Adopt private sector sales and marketing practices across the organisation Scope of services enlarged to include M&A, alliances, joint ventures and equity stakes Development of clusters Development of value propositions So at What Stage are Virginia EDOs? 17

18 FDI Attraction Today The Investment Climate We are interested in expansion overseas but we have not enjoyed good experiences with agencies in the past. They tend to come in and talk about a lot of things but never deliver anything of real worth to us as a company. Clear Orbit Inc (Supply Chain/Enterprise Software) EDO solicitations were taking too much time and distracting us from our core business. We have established a Government Relations division to filter out the noise. Only EDOs that understand our business model will get through. Citigroup, New York Each year there are typically 10,000 global EDOs competing for just over 15,000 projects. Increasing number of EDOs together with increasing sophistication Corporations are bored of IPAs who don t know their business. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! We are fast approaching a world where we will ask EDOs for a prequalification screening/tender response before we agree to work with them. There s too much amateurism out there and we don t know where our data ends up. American Express 18

19 FDI Attraction Today What are Other States Doing? Which States Directly Assist in Overseas Markets? 6+ FDI (and Trade) offices 8 Less than 6 offices, more trade focus 18 Regular trade missions and single trade office 3 Some evidence of trade missions / international engagement Limited / no evidence of international activity 0 21 Has an international investment / trade office Does not have an international investment / trade office Breakdown of State s International Activity 19

20 Best Practice Examples At the Community Level Kansas City, Missouri, has built its reputation as a hub for data center solutions. As of now it hosts over 20 major data centers of such companies as Master Card International, AT&T and Bank of America. The city built its proposition around main location drivers for data centers: Availability of suitable facility or site Robust telecommunication infrastructure Reliable electricity supply The Think Kansas City web-site features an extensive data bank of available property with full description and rates. When investors look for outsourcing solutions, the agency provides them with quotes from qualified data center providers within 24 hours from submission of requirements. 20

21 Best Practice Examples At the Community Level The Partnership is responsible for attracting new business, jobs and investment to the three-state, 15-county region at the intersection of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Marketing the region domestically and internationally. Generating and managing prospects, identifying retention issues and opportunities and partnering with local communities to win projects. 21

22 Best Practice Examples At the Community Level A leading destination for quality business attraction in Michigan New focus on FDI Developing intelligence research, marketing collateral, lead generation efforts SPARK CEO is Chair of IEDC, with an ambition to support members in developing their FDI programs. 22

23 Best Practice Examples At the State Level 23

24 Best Practice Examples At the State Level ORGANISATION ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED SOLUTION IMPACT The Missouri Partnership How to optimise resources and achieve most impact most economic development Development of a composite score to evaluate project opportunities using: Job numbers Capital Average salaries Adapting our offer to suit different target markets, e.g. promoting M&A to Chinese investors Assessment of long term impact of projects defines levels of support Good pipeline of clients from emerging markets Trade clients evolving to M&A opportunities 24

25 Best Practice Examples At the National Level 25

26 Summary FDI is not a panacea for economic recovery but it does play a role FDI does not just happen after a mission to Europe, it takes time and commitment Strategic investors do not respond to quality of life or incentives alone: you need a business case Research the pool of potential companies you intend to prospect - and get targeting Learn from, recognise and cultivate your existing investors Skills and talents are the new battle front for FDI Universities and centers of excellence have an increasingly vital role to play 26
