Investment and Corporate Linkages: We focus on growing level linkages between small and Multinational Corporations. As large firms, globalization has generated both markets and new competitive forces. Constant pressure to reduce costs, shorten lead times, and focus on core competencies has driven firms to change their supply chain management strategies. Most large manufacturing companies now buy significant percentage of their inputs of both goods and services from other sector firms, with some spending as much as half of their revenues this way. Managing the supply chain for an optimal mix of cost, quality, flexibility, and strategic advantage (such as access to innovation) is becoming an increasingly important source of competitive advantage.

More than ever before, companies realize that it is good business to share benefits with their communities, especially in spaces they operate. Enabling small, local firms to support goods and services to larger enterprises and corporation creates more efficient supply chains. At the same time, it maximizes development benefits by helping growing industry related companies to be efficient, aspire, collaborate and create smart and decent jobs.
