Welcome to fDi Intelligence

Foreign direct investment has become the major economic driver of globalisation, accounting for over half of all crossborder investments. Nearly $1 trillion in greenfield investment was announced by companies in 2007, creating almost 3 million jobs in their overseas subsidiaries.

Companies are rapidly globalising through FDI to serve new markets and customers, map out their value chains in the most efficient locations globally, and to access technological and natural resources.

fDi Intelligence is a specialist Division from the Financial Times Ltd established to provide industry leading insight into globalisation with a portfolio of worldclass products, services and business tools that allow both companies and economic development organisations alike to make informed decisions regarding foreign direct investment.
