3.Importance of capacity-building in city investment promotion (continued) Growing importance of promoting cities Cities respond to their growing importance by developing their own capacities for attracting and facilitating inward investment; the number of sub-regional and city investment promotion agencies has increased during recent years – both in the developed world as well as in emerging markets Challenges medium-sized and low-budget cities in emerging markets are facing in attracting FDI Limited budgets and underdeveloped capacities for attracting and servicing investors, identifying investment potential; existing investment climate and infrastructure Handbook for Promoting Foreign Direct Investment in Medium-Size, Low-Budget Cities in Emerging Markets 6

Cases of best practice demonstrate how cities and agencies are gaining experience in attracting and servicing investors. Module I. The Handbook Based on world-wide best practices it provides under-resourced cities in emerging markets with a practical framework and easy-to-follow guidelines on how to increase inward investment.

5.Structure of the Handbook (continued) Module III. A framework for investment promotion A complete overview of how to do investment promotion, as well as the rational and importance of it. Module IV. How to develop a city investment promotion strategy Helps policy makers develop an investment promotion strategy for their cities, preferably developed in conjunction with the national IPA. The strategy can use the templates provided in this module, with a key emphasis on making the strategy sector-based and focused on achieving clear targets that can be monitored and evaluated. Module V. How to build a city investment promotion agency Designed to inform cities on how to establish a new investment promotion agency. The practical illustrations of the organizational structure, vision, mission, and client charter of an IPA are laid out, as are budgets and funding.

5.Structure of the Handbook (continued) Module VIII. How to facilitate inward investment Designed to assist city IPAs in understanding how to handle investor inquiries, provide information to an investor in the most effective format, organize a successful site visit, and consider the options for the facilitation services the city IPA can provide to an investor. Investment facilitation is essential for every city IPA to ensure seamless entry of investment. Effective investment facilitation ensures that: (i) The investment is completed (and not cancelled). (ii) Investors are happy, which adds to the image and reputation of the city and its IPA - a satisfied investor is the most effective promotional tool possible. (iii) Reinvestment is encouraged.
