Investment Facilitation

Fuelling economies and individual deals
Creating opportunities and achieving impact globally are inseparably linked with investments. Investments are the fuel that drives economies.
StIR approaches investment facilitation from the economic development perspective, combining the big picture perspective with attention to detail that makes the difference in a world where competition for capital, and in particular FDI, is becoming fiercer and fiercer.
That doesn’t mean we are not involved in individual deals. With our global network of experts and their wide range of experiences and contacts, we bring the additional level of expertise, insight and connections to the table that may prove decisive for the prospects of a deal. In all our involvements, we treat confidentiality and discretion with utmost importance.

Putting skin into the game
In selected cases of major projects (e.g., the development of a Special Economic Zone or start-up opportunities, on their way to an IPO), StIR has agreed to partial compensation by shares or similar arrangements. Whenever such arrangements are in place, StIR pays special attention to avoiding any potential or actual conflict of interests.
