This session is moderated by Investment Consulting Associates (ICA). Today the role of incentives in attracting FDI has become a hot topic among policy makers, business leaders and academia. Within governments the focus is on the one hand on political debates about revenue foregone versus economic development while business leaders often emphasize that incentives can play a role in the final stages of an investment decision. This panel highlights some recent developments in putting (fiscal) incentives in place for attracting higher value added activities. It also focuses on the investor’s experience in identifying potential incentives for innovation driven FDI and the role governments play in this process. The panel brings together both IPA executives and corporate investors and aims to create a dialogue about (fiscal) incentive strategies and policies that achieve both economic development goals as well as solves the immediate concerns of corporate investors.
