OECD – Attracting FDI in Regions: Green and Strategic Opportunities

The main theme of the report is the analysis of recent trends in green and strategic investments and their ability to foster development in less developed regions in terms of attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).

The report highlights that opportunities for regions to attract and retain investments in green and strategic sectors are becoming increasingly apparent. Success in this depends on the regions' ability to leverage their attractive assets, such as existing skill bases, connections with small and medium enterprises (SMEs), infrastructure, and innovation ecosystems. National governments play a key role in supporting and prioritizing subnational investment activities, using them as a tool to enhance national competitiveness.
