    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.

    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.
