Impact Inward Investment The local challenge is to sell what we've got, and to build for the future where we fall short. We therefore seek to expand the The PA Consulting research, which therefore went on to explored the 'FDI readiness' of each sector in terms of those sectors which have already attracted significant investment, through to those whereby the industry make-up is predominantly local small enterprises, university spin-outs and entrepreneurial start-ups. Based on this Marketing Birmingham has developed a short to medium term strategy aligned to job creation potential and a focus on those sectors that can create mass employment to alleviate levels of deprivation in a city with unemployment levels far higher than the national average. The research suggests that different sectors fall into one of four sector groupings at different stages of the economic lifecycle relevant to Birmingham city region's competitiveness globally and within the UK in each sector: What does a successful Foreign Direct Investment Strategy look like? Success in attracting inward investment in a competitive world requires a focused approach. A location needs to understand its latent strengths and future growth potential in terms of its industry make-up. A tiered strategy spanning the short to the long term should then act as the base to develop the product, infrastructure, support mechanisms and importantly the value propositions specific to a company or industry that can attract investment based on a tangible commercial benefit. International connectivity is also vital in terms of both the targeted outreach of a city to key markets with an inherent linkage, but also the physical connectivity in terms of international air routes. Finally, the ability to deliver innovative incentives, whether around training, grants or other forms will create a distinct competitive edge for a city, and when landed, a structured process of strategic relationship management to retain and grow the investment is required.
