    Exceptional FDI Meetings

    The Southwestern Ontario Marketing Alliance (SOMA) has utilized Research FDI on numerous occasions over the past several years. Our experience has been exceptional and Research FDI has either met or exceeded our contracted number of meetings per international trade show or investment mission. The high quality meetings they have been able to arrange for our FDI activities is a big reason why we keep coming back to Research FDI.

    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.
