    Impressed by their expertise

    I had the pleasure of collaborating with ResearchFDI and was thoroughly impressed by their expertise in graphic design for economic development marketing. Their designs were both visually captivating and strategically effective. ResearchFDI demonstrated a deep understanding of our economic development goals and target audience, creating marketing materials that effectively communicated our key messages and value propositions. Their team consistently delivered high-quality collateral, including brochures, presentations, and other marketing materials.

    They deliver results

    When the City of Surprise wanted to expand its investment attraction pipeline, we interviewed several firms. ResearchFDI, led by Bruce and his team, had a strong reputation in the industry and stood out to us because they genuinely wanted to help us meet our objectives. They offered quality data analytics, personalized service, and we used their FDI365 software for a year. We were very happy with the leads generated and even hired them to assist with appointment setting for our sales missions. During a recent mission to Canada, ResearchFDI provided us with a well-organized meeting schedule and thorough briefing, making each meeting impactful. The Surprise team considers ResearchFDI vital to our business attraction strategy because they genuinely care about providing value and consistently deliver results.
