For countries, regions and communities that need an economic development plan with concrete projects, budgets and the investors the plan is written for.
In short
A territorial development strategy sets out what a community, region or country will earn its living from over the next 5–10 years, which investors to attract and which projects to launch for that. We write strategies that can be implemented: with projects, budgets and someone responsible for every step.
Who it is for
Communities
A strategy, a plan of investment sites and a community profile for investors.
Regions
A regional strategy, target sectors, an implementation team and promotion abroad.
Countries
An investment attraction strategy, country positioning and priority sectors.
What you get

Questions about strategies
How is your strategy different from one a community writes from a template?
We start from the question of which investors find the territory interesting and build the plan from there. As a result, every goal is tied to a project, a budget and a person responsible for it.
How long does it take?
From six months. The exact timeline depends on the size of the territory and how much data has already been collected.
How much does a strategy cost?
The fee is agreed individually. It depends on the size of the territory, the scope of analysis and whether implementation support is needed.
Do you help implement the strategy?
Yes. We can help build the team, prepare the first projects and take them to investors, including at the International Economic Forum in Lviv.
