Local coordination engagements vary by client needs. Some clients require ongoing retainer relationships with regular monthly support for relationship maintenance, market monitoring, and administrative coordination. Others engage project-based support for specific initiatives like market entry, tender support, or regulatory approval processes. Typical activities include attending stakeholder meetings on your behalf, coordinating with local vendors and partners, managing documentation and submissions, providing market intelligence and opportunity alerts, facilitating introductions and door-opening, and serving as escalation point for local issues requiring attention.

Local presence demonstrates commitment and facilitates trust-building with authorities, partners, and clients who prefer working with entities they can physically meet. Practical benefits include navigating language and cultural differences, understanding informal business practices and norms, responding quickly to local developments and opportunities, managing time zone coordination for meetings and deadlines, and providing continuity when your international team travels. For large tenders and projects, local presence is often an evaluation criterion or practical necessity for stakeholder management. Our role as your local representative bridges the gap between your international operations and local market requirements.
