Red Hot Locations

Red Hot Locations has identified four vital themes impacting on the future of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) which will influence your success in attracting and developing corporate investment in 2009 in the face of the economic slowdown:

• Globality – not another name for Globalisation, it is what comes next….

• The Multi-Polar World – heralding opportunities in an economic downturn …

• The New Global Challengers or emerging market multinationals – new names, new intelligence

• The War for Talent – with the current company cutbacks and job losses, is it over?

Even given the current economic forecast, we have identified three industry sectors which are active, expanding and growing, and we will be looking at them in depth in 2009:

• Outsourcing

• Life Sciences

• IT

If you want to look at this research you can download the 2009 research document which forms the basis of the FDI programme for THE WORLD FORUM for Direct Investment 2009, which will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 10th & 11th June – and which you should attend if you want to meet your challenges head-on, and examine these very real FDI influencers for 2009.
