Do tax credits and incentives create a successful business in the long-term? No! Our experience has taught us that state and local governments across the board, offer much of the same benefits. However, other factors have greater impact on long-term business results, and should therefore be the focus.
We lead joint project teams, utilizing in-house capabilities to secure our clients' long-term execution, while keeping market growth opportunity on target.
To optimize your location decision we determine the market and competitive landscape first. Next, we set the parameters and key success factors for the business. With this foundation established, we weigh revenue expectations against how close you need to be to your selected market and customers, the distance to key suppliers versus transportation costs, and the time to market.
For our clients, setting up production always involves both technology transfer and executing against a set deadline. Our job is to ensure that qualified leadership is present, and that the local production worker talent pool is sufficient for your needs. To us, technology transfer requires that we make certain that selected individuals have the right motivation for the job. They will commit and take ownership of the technology transfer, and have the ability to pull together a team working in a multicultural environment, across continents.
Globally expanding clients from Europe and Asia seek us out to help locate HQ's, involve us in overseeing their technology transfer, and to support their new business setup.
In addition to ensuring strong market and revenue potential, you need to go broad and narrow, shallow and deep - to find a local fit and commitment to your business. Technology transfer is complex, and conflicts are most often not economic nor technical, but cultural.
