    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.

    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.
