Business Intelligence

Business intelligence is a critical component of the decision making process when considering where and how an investment into Asia should be made. Our pan-Asia team can help your business with its strategic direction.

Asia’s relentless economic growth and diverse range of economies present amazing opportunities for foreign investment. Foreign companies exploring opportunities in the region can, however, become exposed to shifting costs, complex regulatory requirements, and conflicting information.

Dezan Shira & Associates’ Business Intelligence professionals have a deep understanding of market entry across Asia, and the Belt and Road Initiative, in addition to strong connections with local suppliers, distributors, and industrial zones.

Dezan Shira’s Business Intelligence solutions provide investors with the tools to clarify their options and the means to capitalize on opportunities across Asia.

Our areas of expertise include:

Global companies today, face complexities and volatilities that can drive rapid changes to how and in which Asian markets they must operate in, to maximize their competitive advantages.
