Buffalo Niagara Enterprise’s Business Attraction
Buffalo Niagara Enterprise (BNE) is supported by Directed Energy to continue their efforts to encourage renewable energy companies to expand to the Buffalo Niagara region by increasing the profile and awareness of the region among renewable energy companies and site selection professionals. (see http://www.buffaloniagara.org/Home/IndustryClusters/RenewableEnergy).
BNE’s Research Department, in addition to providing content for marketing materials, will identify and acquire target company lists and then conduct the necessary background research on the companies. This background research will ensure that the companies in question are strong prospects and that BNE Business Development staff is adequately prepared with sufficient knowledge of the company’s operations, processes, plans and needs.
As potential company prospects are identified and qualified, BNE will also use Directed Energy funds to provide company-specific outreach and business development assistance to facilitate the successful relocation and expansion efforts of smaller to mid-sized companies. These companies, because of their size, do not possess these capabilities in-house and our experience has shown that the region can be quite competitive in attraction of these companies who then have the ability to grow exponentially.
Buffalo Niagara Enterprise (BNE) is a regional marketing, business and economic development organization representing the eight counties of the Western New York/Buffalo Niagara region (Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans & Wyoming). BNE is a not-for-profit, high performance organization whose mission is to attract business investment to Buffalo Niagara, and whose vision is to be a world class organization that proactively represents Buffalo Niagara to influencers and decision makers of investment and location opportunities. Our primary goal is to attract business investment to the region that will lead to the creation of wealth generating employment opportunities.
