EDN FOR GOVERNMENT & MULTILATERALS

SUPPORT DEVELOPING ECONOMIES WITH EDN

The EDN Search Engine provides an intuitive, centralized Web-based platform for US and foreign governmental investment promotion agencies (IPA) and other multilateral organizations to coordinate domestically and cooperate internationally in fostering business development in emerging markets.

THE EDN SEARCH ENGINE ENABLES GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES TO:

- Connect with local business service and capital providers with a consistent mission to help foster foreign direct investments to cultivate business development

- Promote programs and initiatives that support business enterprise development and growth — with a MyEDN profile page, links to relevant content and optional sponsorship opportunities

- Find interagency and private sector partners to assist with programs – identify ideal business service providers, capital providers, non-governmental organizations and other foreign or domestic governmental agencies

- Access information to help define and develop new programs or leverage existing ones

- Champion socially and globally responsible investment processes, encouraging free enterprise and self-sustaining development

- Track the success of programs by monitoring connections, contacts and transactions

THE EDN SEARCH ENGINE

Established in 2007, EDN has developed partnerships with dozens of business service providers (BSP) located around the world. EDN is expanding to include the resources of lenders and equity providers (CAP, or Capital Providers), US and foreign government organizations (GOV), and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO).

The EDN Search Engine gives businesses instant access to EDN partners’ wide range of programs and services, including technical assistance grants, private and public funding, and other business  opportunities, services and support.

Ultimately, EDN provides a common platform for business enterprises to find the resources they need from qualified and trusted providers — and for EDN partners to market their portfolios, programs and services directly to the emerging markets they strive to serve.

The EDN Search Engine fills the gap in the global effort to strengthen developing economies by providing instant access to information, tools, and experienced professional assistance — as well as the capital — necessary for success.
