I found the online course extremely convenient, as I could complete modules at my own pace, within my schedule. The information was clear and concise with plenty of additional case studies. I was able to practically implement what I learned, which was of great assistance, as I am relatively new to my role in Economic Development. I can highly recommend this platform for anyone wanting a good foundation to promote FDI and Investment within their mandate.

fDi Institute provided an enviable opportunity to access an in-depth knowledge about the global investment climate which is relevant and critical not only to attracting sustainable investment but to my career advancement as an investment officer. The research findings are on point and very factual. This is just what IPAs need to stay on top in their quest to attract the right FDI.
