Supporting investment promotion and public-sector growth
As global investors look to Asia, government agencies, economic development organizations (EDOs), and special economic zones (SEZs) face increasing pressure to attract FDI, support innovation, and build cross-border partnerships. Yet navigating investment promotion, regulatory reform, and private-sector engagement requires technical expertise that bridges both public and commercial priorities. We support government stakeholders across Asia with partner matchmaking, regulatory advisory, PPP development, and FDI facilitation strategies that balance investor needs with policy objectives.

Attracting sustainable foreign investment requires agencies to balance promotion with compliance, transparency, and competitive positioning. Many agencies struggle with fragmented regulations, sector targeting, and partner due diligence when attracting FDI.
We provide technical support to help design competitive incentive schemes, identify credible private-sector partners, assess regulatory reforms, and structure transactions that build investor confidence.
Successful EDOs require:

We support:
- Global partner screening for financial strength and operational track record
- Industry expertise mapping to match project needs
- Structuring of partner selection processes and due diligence frameworks

SEZ programs require alignment with international trade commitments and domestic laws to remain competitive while minimizing legal exposure.

Many Asian markets welcome foreign participation but may impose nationality, capital, or sectoral restrictions depending on the asset class involved.
For example:
- Transport and ports may require sovereign approvals
- Energy projects may be subject to ownership caps or environmental regulations
- Healthcare or education PPPs may require service delivery licensing
We help structure PPPs that remain attractive while complying with national controls.

Typical estimates:
