Looking after investors can’t be an afterthought anymore. Aftercare is a key function to grow and retain foreign investors as well as an effective tool of local economic development. This course dives into the why, what and how of post-investment in general and how Aftercare is paving the way to long-term engagement with established foreign investors, providing them with a platform to amplify their positive contribution to the local economy.
The course will benefit:
- IPAs/EDOs looking to provide Aftercare services.
- Chambers of Commerce and sector associations who collaborate with the public sector in servicing foreign investors.
- Central and local government officials keen to increase the return on investment of public funds used to attract investment.

Learning outcomes:
