    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.

    ResearchFDI has been a real pleasure to work with in generating FDI meetings for our missions in the NYC and Boston areas. They are 100% reliable, effective and a real partner. As a result of this relationship, we landed two FDI wins from NYC resulting in 50 jobs.

    Highly Knowledgeable

    As a rural economic development professional targeting Agrifood businesses, I highly recommend ResearchFDI’s online investment attraction training. The trainers were highly knowledgeable and tailored the program to our needs, providing practical tools and strategies that have had a marked impact on our organization’s ability to attract investors. Despite the online format, the training was engaging and interactive, and the focus on the Agrifood sector was particularly valuable.
