Our Services for U.S. Economic Developers

The TBIC Community & Corporate Member network offers a unique opportunity to become part of a dynamic and strong platform of U.S. communities in Europe. The main reasons for your membership are a stronger exposure in Europe through your listing in the TBIC Membership Directory and on our website, access to project information through our FDI & RFI mailing list and easy access to various site selection consultants on our Advisory Council, and access to all TBIC events to actively connect and meet with potential investors.

TBIC FDI Trips provide direct access to European industry leaders, investors, and multipliers. Each delegation is carefully curated, offering U.S. EDOs the chance to engage in one-on-one meetings, company site visits, and sector briefings—always with a focus on actionable outcomes.

In addition to these focused trips, TBIC also organizes Trade Show Visits to key European industry events. These include opportunities for group meetings with exhibiting companies and tailored networking support. Whether through intimate roundtable discussions or large-scale expos, every visit is designed to generate leads and build recognition for your region.

Just like international companies benefit from a local presence when entering the U.S. market, your economic development strategy in Europe gains credibility and reach through a permanent footprint. The TBIC European Office Representation includes a business address in central Berlin, a European phone line staffed during CET business hours, and hands-on support for outreach, translations, meeting coordination, and travel logistics. This flexible and cost-effective service helps TBIC members maintain a year-round presence and ensures fast, localized follow-up with leads and partners.

In partnership with site selection experts at TerraLogis, TBIC offers the FDI-Qualified Community Certification—a structured, in-depth evaluation program designed to benchmark your region’s competitiveness in infrastructure, workforce, leadership, and cultural readiness. This certification strengthens your international positioning and provides your community with a concrete roadmap to sharpen its FDI strategy.

In collaboration with site selection consultancy NAVIGO Corp., TBIC’s Community College Certification Program evaluates the relevance and adaptability of local workforce training programs. The certification ensures that your technical and community colleges meet the expectations of international investors and support long-term workforce pipeline development—before, during, and after a project lands.

The TBIC Annual Transatlantic Business & Investment Conference is a key opportunity to showcase your region to international investors, site selectors, and fellow EDOs. In 2025, the conference will be held for the first time in Chicago, Illinois, and will bring together 100+ attendees for a full day of networking, expert panels, and hands-on strategy sessions. Throughout the year, TBIC also hosts webinars, member meetups, and inbound delegations from Europe, offering additional visibility for your community.

All TBIC members are featured in our TBIC Membership Directory, shared with hundreds of European companies, chambers, trade associations, and consulting firms. The directory positions your region as an active and accessible landing point for foreign direct investment and opens the door to valuable introductions throughout our European and transatlantic network.
