Investment agencies: capabilities, services and local connections
SEGIB’s study provides a framework for understanding investment promotion agencies.
The December 2024 report examines resources and tools used by Ibero-American agencies. It groups their activities into training, information and advice, promotion and establishment, investment attraction and financial support.
For a territorial hub, this framework organises technical assistance, market research, simpler procedures, digital platforms, meetings and establishment services. Relationships with regional and local institutions also form part of the analysis.
The study acknowledges information differences between agencies and limits in the interviews conducted. It is used as a methodological framework, not as a current institutional ranking. WINFDI’s directory separately links verified official websites. Source: SEGIB, pages 6–8.
