Our experience and expertise has been amassed from working with over 50 countries, cities, regions and organisations advising them on how to develop strategies to engage their diasporas.
The world is facing an era of turbulence driven by tanks and tariffs, with global FDI falling. This turbulence is challenging how cities, nations and places can shape influence, networks and capital flows in an increasingly competitive world.
These challenges are also opportunities by finding reimagined ways of strengthening old alliances and unleashing new ones. This report explores how DDI – Diaspora Direct Investment brings positive results for places and gives them an overview of the tools to succeed in developing this emerging and increasingly important form of capital.
With 304 million first-generation migrants alone living outside their birth countries, diaspora communities represent a valuable network of national assets in an increasingly protectionist world.
The Diaspora Institute’s proven methodology has mobilised these global connections to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients.
Our experienced team helps organisations apply diaspora capital’s agility through our worldwide advisory network spanning corporate leadership, government, philanthropy, and investment sectors.
