Building local businesses and attracting new investors to a region is essential for the success and growth of communities. That’s why Rainmaker has been working with Economic Development Agencies across the globe to develop systems and strategies that identify, target, and attract new investors to your region.

Focusing on the key values and opportunities a particular area can offer, Rainmaker builds strategic plans for their implementation and then targets companies who have the means and interest to invest.

By working closely with Economic Development Agencies we have created highly successful projects such as ‘Attracting Site Selectors to your Community,’ and created comprehensive investment strategies designed to tempt foreign direct investment in your region.

The growth of a community is enhanced mainly by local business retention and the expansion efforts of Economic Development Agencies, in fact 75 to 85 percent of economic growth in a community comes from local businesses. However, it is also critical to create and support investment attraction initiatives to diversify the local economy and create new markets that will not compete with existing companies.

With our experience in investment attraction and global contact network, Rainmaker is uniquely positioned to offer Economic Development Organizations tools and services for developing programs and strategies for both business retention and expansion.

Rainmaker has a multi-disciplinary team of experts that will ensure your organization and community will prosper. We can support your Economic Development Agency by providing quality strategies and creative programs that focus on investment attraction, business retention and expansion and lastly, labour attraction and retention. Together we can build communities through successful business development.
