How to search for a location:

Enter the Area Development Section of this Economic Development Network website to a list of countries around the world. Select a country. You will either find information and links on a single page or a series. You will be moving towards information about places at the local level and their location data suppliers. A search promise is available if you want assistance.
spacer
How to find a location not listed in The Network:

1. The most expedient thing to do is to send an email identifying the location to us (who we are). Our response will be to publish its identity in each of the three websites of The Network. We will respond to your email, without soliciting, to tell you when we are done and where to find the information we publish. Services are provided without cost or obligation. We also publish links to contact data for area and local development representatives and other location data suppliers for free in Economic Development.net.

2. Search the Global Registry of Contacts to see if the location is listed there.

3. Search the Regional Site Selection Directory to see if the location is listed there.

4. Use the Google/.network search engine or any other that you may choose. In the event that your search does not produce the results you want or you reach a dead end at any point, the promise of The Network will be available. Also, see Search for a Location.
spacer
How to suggest that a location be listed for free in Economic Development.net:

Send an email identifying the location to us (who we are). If you are in position to provide complimentary information about one or more locations to economic development prospects, you should instead send an email to apply for a record in the Global Registry of Contacts. When we act on your suggestion and publish information in the Area Development Section of the Economic Development Network website, we will respond to your email and tell you where to find what we publish. Services are provided without cost or obligation.
spacer
How to find resource and service suppliers who are not location data suppliers:

As an addendum to the Area Development Section of this Economic Development Network website we offer to publish information about the services and service areas of those who have up-to-date records in the Global Registry of Contacts. To find contacts, you should search the GRC directory. It is suggested that services and service area information published in Economic Development.net contain keywords and phrases that aid searchingdashsee the pages in the introduction to The Network about searching or the Google/.network search engine. If you are interested in publishing a paragraph about your services and service area in the Area Development Addendum, CLICK HERE.
