Sustainable Economic Development

With more than 25 years of experience working in 45 regions in the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, ICF can help regions to identify, establish, and sustain a competitive position in the global marketplace by developing unique competitive strategies and building sustainable regional economies.

In today's global economy new rules dictate how economic value is generated, where it is concentrated, and how it can be advanced. Regions—rather than political or geographical boundaries—are the centers of economic growth and innovation. As a result, every region faces the challenge of establishing and sustaining its position in the global economy. By adapting proven methods and tactics to a region’s distinctive economic needs, ICF helps clients determine where their region’s economy has been, where it is heading, and how to make their business competitive in it.
