Selected project
Strategic vision and medium-term action plan for APIP’s Business Support Department
2021 · Client: Enabel
The assignment strengthened the Business Support Department (DAE) of the Private Investment Promotion Agency (APIP). It first set out a clear strategic vision for the DAE, its objectives and its role with businesses, as the basis for a service offering tailored to their needs. A roadmap and an operational action plan then defined the steps and resources required. The assignment also strengthened the DAE’s organisation (processes, human resources, tools) and supported it through the first months of implementation, enhancing APIP’s capacity to support businesses and economic development.
