Contact Us if we may assist
you with a business location search anywhere in Europe, such as site
selection for a new office, factory, distribution center or other
operations.
Try our new
Search: Europe
tool at ShortListNews.com to search across many countries of Europe at once, rather than
individually as below.
Scroll down for an explanation of
the selective Europe Search feature below and other custom search tools for
business location strategy and site selection.
We also maintain an Invest in
Europe directory for additional contacts in some countries, such as
regional and city development agencies and chambers of commerce.
This custom Google site search tool is provided for
convenient reference by the executives, professional advisors, and economic
development organizations we serve. Try our intuitively simple and
powerful new research tools at
www.ShortListNews.com too.
If you contact
them about their services, please let them know how you found them, and
please let us know if this service was helpful or if you find any
obsolete links. Some organizations keep changing their domain names
rather than just their content. Relevant
reciprocal links are welcome.
Tip : See Google "Cheat
Sheet" help page for advanced web search features.
National investment promotion agency websites
such as those shown above were included in the Europe Search
initially just to demonstrate the process.
Other websites may be added in the future according to feedback from the
corporate executives, professional business advisors, and sponsors we serve
about what they would like to search this way, because this tool is designed
for their convenience.
Note that by Europe we refer to the
geographic region, not European Union membership.
The following organizations were identified in the past as
potentially relevant, but are not included in the above list because Google
has reportedly indexed few pages on their sites.
The basic
premise behind our GUIDE services (Globally Uniform Investment Data &
Experience), such as Area Profiles, Area Surveys, Area Reports and other
research, is to provide executive summary information which becomes a
convenient search path to quickly discover when a potential business
location may be relevant to the needs of a project.
The ability to conveniently search the websites of
participating organizations complements this "high level" or "long list"
exploratory search work with the ability to drill down for more details
while working "on the short list" selection process.
That includes the capability to not only find basic
factual data attributes about the area, such as demographic statistics or
directories of available properties, but also to quickly search through
apparently relevant websites for information to address specific project
interests, including the recent experience of other investors in the area or
business clusters.
Our Invest USA, Invest in Europe, and global
Contacts directories (geographic regions and professional
specialties) already make it easy to find relevant websites and follow
whatever navigational structure and search options they may offer to present
information about their areas or services. These custom Search
features, however, make it fast and easy to use Google's intuitive process
to find whatever relevant content has been indexed.

31, 2005 :

The Locations directory includes
executive summary Area Profiles which are used for pre-visit briefings and
for quick reference at any time. It may also include links to
the personal Biographic Profiles of the key
contacts in such areas. After a Tour event, it will also include links
to the Area Report or other relevant content.
As this website develops, it will be easy for visitors to
search this website for content relevant to their interests, which will then
link out to other websites for more details. In effect, the executive
summary presentations create a search path to find the details, but we have
also made it easy to search the relevant websites directly for anything.
Similarly, the Sponsors directory
highlights the host organization and well as other sponsors which may
participate in support of Tour events. This may include links to Area
Profiles, Service Profiles, Biographic Profiles, Area Reports or other
relevant content.
This makes it easy to find such
contacts quickly again at any time - both for the Tour participants and
others who may not yet have met them, but are interested in the area.

We have similarly
made it easy to search economic development magazine websites, such as to
find articles on topics of interest in a globally consistent and easy way.
This will be adapted into a new Media Search
feature on this website.
The Area Reports directory will
make it easy to find any available reports from prior events. This
shares useful market knowledge beyond the few participants involved in the
event.
This template
example shows the basic structure of such Area Reports. The content of
such reports provides many relevant search paths for any of the consultants
or other visitors to this website to find out about the area whenever it may
be relevant to their interests. Area Reports will also be featured on
our main website
www.gdi-solutions.com
We have also made it easy to search some of the available
corporate real estate (CRE) property listing services through the very fast
and flexible Google site search feature rather than through standard forms
for database queries by common attributes such as the building size,
location, eave height, etc. This makes it possibly to quickly search
for anything relevant which might be contained in the property listing.
This will be adapted into a new CRE Search
feature on this website, along with other new research features.
The custom Google site search below
can quickly find
any content Google has indexed on the selected websites of European
economic development organizations or investment promotion agencies, or this website or www.gdi-solutions.com
.
This Europe Search feature makes it easy for the
executives and professionals we serve to research European countries in
advance or following a Tour visit or meeting, or as they evaluate whether a
business location should be "on the short list"
for a specific project.
Google may not index all website pages of such organizations
because of their design, but our market research work in this niche makes
thousands of relevant pages available for quick
reference in a globally consistent way. See also : Global contacts.
Tips about using these custom site search features
Not all pages on a website may be indexed. This depends
on a variety of website design factors and search engine processes.
The site search tools provided by the respective websites may
be more comprehensive if they provide access to content which Google does
not index, or very recent content which Google may not have crawled yet.
Since these Google results are the same as those which are available in a
general Google Search of the World Wide Web - but limited to the content of
a specific site - this can also be helpful to test how Google is finding
results for such a site, and how the results of interest would appear to
Google Search users.
Our main SEARCH feature
selectively searches the websites of professionals in
this niche so that it is easier to learn about their capabilities and
specialization in more detail than the executive summaries we provide in our
Service Profiles and
Biographic Profiles . Profiles make it easier to search and find
when their experience may be relevant to a particular type of project.
Area Profiles and Area Surveys can do the same thing for business locations.
USA Search is
for state economic development websites.
Area Search is for
local areas and Tour host or sponsor organizations
Europe Search is for
national or regional investment promotion agencies (this page).
CRE Search is for
corporate real estate listings and service providers.
Media Search
is for economic development and other business news.
Event Search
is for major trade shows or association events relevant to this niche
Local Search opens a Google Local map search
browser window for convenience
The SEARCH button above (UP
in the header of this or other custom search pages)
also makes it easy to find most of the content and 20,000+ links to
relevant resources worldwide through the hundreds of pages which
Google has indexed on
www.gdi-solutions.com . That is our more comprehensive global
reference website, which now attracts visitors at a pace of 500,000
visitors per
year. Daily
visits graph.
The same tool can search this website for any content in our
directories of business location Professionals, Locations (pre-visit
and updated Area Profile briefings about host areas),
Sponsors (such as host organizations and those
who sponsor Tour events or our other services), and the
Area Reports (post-Tour visit reports) and
Biographic Profiles (individual professional
experience).
