The Story
A state government of a large developing nation in the bottom 20th percentile of the 2018 Human Development Index recognized the need to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to stimulate economic growth and development across key sectors. To achieve this, they sought to establish a dedicated Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) to promote investment opportunities, streamline the investment process, and provide support to foreign investors. The government aimed to attract FDI in sectors such as power and energy, transportation, mining, business development, agriculture, water resource management, and port development.
Our advisors were engaged to develop a comprehensive strategy and roadmap for the establishment and operation of this new agency.

We identified and recommended appropriate technology solutions to support the IPA’s operations, including investor relationship management (CRM) systems and data analytics platforms.
The Results
The establishment of the Investment Promotion Agency, guided by Zedd Haytch’s strategy and roadmap, resulted in:
