A stable, well-functioning, continuously and sustainably growing local economy plays a decisive role in the development of a city/region, providing predictable livelihood and conditions for the good quality of life to the people living there. In order to strengthen the foundations of sustainable economic growth, it is essential for almost all cities to increase entrepreneurial investment by attracting external investors. This dynamic expansion of inward investments can also boost the local economy and put it on a stable path of growth.
Attracting external investors and developing the local economy can, therefore, not be mutually exclusive, only complementary; investment promotion and the development of local businesses are both important priorities for any municipality.
One condition of successful economic development is deliberate and well-thought-out planning at urban level. In recent years, our experts have been involved in the professional preparation and delivery of several municipal economic development situation reports, strategies, and local and regional employment pacts. MEGAKOM's team of experts provides support in the preparation of analyses for local economic development – in the topics of investment promotion, local product and service development, as well as local business development and support –, the development of strategies and action plans, and the professional support of local employment cooperations.
