the road to economic development success
|
At its best, economic development offers communities across the globe a path to growth, innovation and becoming a hot spot. But with more than 20,000 economic development organizations worldwide, the competition for investment attraction is fierce. In this increasingly crowded arena, Development Counsellors International (DCI) can help differentiate your community and communicate your location advantages to your target markets and key audiences.
Since our firm was established in New York City in 1960, we have carved a special niche in economic development marketing, working for more than 350 cities, regions, states and countries.
As a result of these client relationships, the DCI team understands the challenges economic development organizations - and professionals like you - face, and we know the opportunities on which you can capitalize. We have firsthand experience working with the industries you are trying to attract, from bioscience to advanced manufacturing, high tech to "clean" tech, green energy companies to financial headquarters. We know the issues that sometimes stand in your way on the road to success, such as workforce shortages or a lack of regional cooperation, and can recommend solutions for overcoming these barriers.
As specialists in the field, DCI is well respected by the business media and trade press. And we have strong ties to the site selection consultants and location advisors you need to know.
In short, we "get" economic development. We live and breathe it every day in marketing programs on behalf of places throughout the world, and we want to put this knowledge to work for you.
 | The DCI team includes more than 40 economic development and travel marketing professionals, the largest assembly of “place marketing” specialists in the world. |
