Investment Map
(International Trade Centre)
Investment Map is produced by the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in partnership with the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), part of the World Bank Group.
Investment Map aims to assist investment promotion agencies (IPAs) in defining priority sectors for investment promotion, identifying potential investors in a given sector, identifying competitor countries for inward investment, and defining opportunities for bilateral investment.
The main strength of Investment Map is the combination of different data (international trade, foreign direct investment, tariff and foreign affiliated companies) into an easy-to-use, interactive Internet tool that allows analysis by country, trading partner and sector. We anticipate it will be best used to identify market opportunities.
Investment Map includes information, on the location, sales, employment and parent company, for around 60,000 foreign affiliates located in developing countries and economies in transition.
