    Always available

    We have been delighted to work with ResearchFDI as our lead generation partner in North America. Over the past 4 years, Bruce, Omar, and the team have generated over 70 leads for Gilbert, Arizona from all around the world. ResearchFDI is always available for help with logistics and the customer service is second to none. During a recent California mission, ResearchFDI identified a high-value manufacturing lead that led to a site visit to our area just weeks after the appointment. They provide highly targeted leads based on our strategic plan, which is why we would highly recommend them to any organization that wishes to generate high-value leads.

    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.

    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.
