in partnership with World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA)
About this session
The COVID-19 crisis has revealed the value of investment promotion agencies (IPAs) as intermediaries between governments and their business communities, as many agencies played a critical role in helping investors through the crisis. With the recovery gaining pace, investment promotion is retaking a front seat. But how can a tainted location’s image be restored? How can new investment be attracted to sectors hit by the crisis and how can sustainability be built in?
