IPA Performance Benchmarking provides investment promotion agencies (IPA) with a substantial independent analysis of their agency's performance with new investors. This programme focuses on the capabilities of national, regional and city investment promotion agencies in dealing effectively with foreign investor enquiries and in promoting their respective regions.

GDP Global Development established this programme at the request of UK IPA clients in 2001.  In that time more than 200 investment promotion agencies worldwide have benefited from GDP Global's independent feedback of more than 600 performance evaluations. The current programme builds on the experience of previous investigations and provides IPAs with a benchmark that is evolving in line with developments in the IPA community and the global market.

Today the IPA Benchmarking Database (www.ipabenchmarking.com) contains performance data from more than 600 IPA performance assessments since 2001. It is therefore the most comprehensive performance resource of its type.

The results and implications the IPA Performance Benchmarking Programme are presented and discussed at conferences, workshops and training events around the world.

Agencies have two participation options: Custom and Low Cost.
