Achieving exceptional results in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and driving economic growth demands a harmonious partnership between Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and investors. IPAs must proactively engage with investors, understanding their unique needs and aspirations. By aligning investment opportunities with investors' preferences, IPAs can create a tailored and attractive environment that fosters greater interest. Moreover, by serving as a bridge between investors and local businesses, IPAs enable seamless connections and collaborations, encouraging technology transfer, innovation, and market expansion. This synergy enhances the value proposition of the region, enticing investors to commit and reinvest. Moreover, the feedback loop that emerges from this collaboration enables IPAs to refine their strategies, ensuring continual improvement and adaptability to changing market dynamics. Embracing the synergies between investors and IPAs is the key to unlocking substantial FDI inflows, propelling economic development, and achieving sustainable growth. WAIPA will also brief the participants on the 27th World Investment Conference (WIC) being organized in New Delhi, India during 11th-14th December 2023.
