The Promise of FDI

I can say without hesitation that the TBIC relationship helped us get in the conversation for this project. We would NOT have GEDIA here without TBIC. Keeping international ties is important because we can’t always be everywhere, and we need help to serve our communities well. You never know when or where the next opportunity will come from, so having friends that know your strengths and weaknesses can help you get results. If you don’t have partners around the world, you will miss out on opportunities.

Membership in the Transatlantic Business & Investment Council (TBIC) provides RGP Northwest Ohio with meaningful introductions to European companies with the potential for new jobs, investment and innovation in the Toledo region and Northwest Ohio.  Obviously there are dozens of associations/organizations, consultants & lead generation services that can do the same.  What makes TBIC stand a tad taller than the rest are the deep data & insight into the German & other European markets provided by the TBIC team and the valuable contacts made with a wide array of manufacturing and service companies in Europe and with those in the USA with an interest in Europe.  Finally, the “family feel” of TBIC and its membership is apparent via all of their events, programs and outreach….this makes the crazy work of FDI somewhat fun!

I highly recommend TBIC’s FDI Programs, which excel in connecting economic developers and other professionals with global opportunities through expert networking, delegation trips, trade show activities and representation.  Having experienced activities firsthand, I greatly value their seamless execution and exceptional coordination, and I look forward to future participation engaging with their outstanding team.
