At PDI, our Regional Development strategies are non-partisan and resultsoriented.

actions, leveraging existing local industries/clusters, unique assets, and
untapped strengths to craft a distinctive competitive position for each region,
one that attracts investment, fuels productivity, and fosters innovation.
At PDI, we analyze the drivers of competitiveness to map a region’s
development potential. Our framework covers macro factors—policies,
institutions, human and social development, as well as micro dimensions like
business environment, industry clusters, and firm sophistication. We assess
regions at multiple levels, from cities and states to cross-border areas,
creating a comprehensive baseline to guide targeted action and deliver
measurable impact.
At the core of our practice is building local capabilities and strengthening institutions that can support competitiveness efforts and long term economic growth.
