The World Business Chicago (WBC) on Tuesday announced that fDi Magazine has recognized WBC with the 2107 Foreign Direct Investment Strategy Award for its international outreach, and received the highest rank in the Americas for Best Investment Promotional Agency. As the city’s public-private partnership for economic development, WBC helped establish a range of initiatives to expand Chicago’s international presence and foreign investment. The fDi Magazine ranking follows another leading recognition in FDI –the 2017 IBM Global Location Trends report, which ranked Chicago number one in foreign direct investment for five consecutive years. Chicago was the only North American metro area ranked in the top 20 cities in the world. “The recognition is a result of our relentless efforts in connecting Chicago with international markets,” Andrea Zopp, president and CEO of WBC said. “We see an opportunity in using international investment to help Chicago grow more inclusively and promote it as a world-class city and economic powerhouse.”
