Koios Associates LLC (pronounced co-­‐EE-­‐us) is a United States-­‐based firm operating in over 50 countries, which specializes in investment, trade, and financial strategies for public and private sector clients in emerging and developing economies.

Their mission is to help clients develop and implement profitable direct investment, export marketing, sourcing, and financial strategies in emerging markets. They help national and regional governments craft policies and strategies to encourage investment and trade, to increase private participation in infrastructure development, and to maximize the economic and social benefits they derive from trade and investment growth.

Koios also helps private sector clients identify, understand, and develop international investment and trade opportunities in the context of their global strategies, to understand and manage the political, economic and market risks that accompany these opportunities, to integrate emerging market operations into global corporate value chains, to identify and evaluate potential acquisition and joint venture partners, and to raise capital to fund expansion.

SERVICES

Koios Associates offers companies a systematic, analytical and data-oriented approach to international market entry, sourcing and investment decisions, complemented by on-the-ground strategic, analytical and operational assistance in turning those decisions into profitable operations.

Koios helps clients integrate new market opportunities into global supply chains by helping them determine where and how to source production and whether, where and how to invest internationally. Koios focuses on linking marketing strategy to supply chain management strategy in a value chain, or what some analysts have called a “demand chain,” approach.

Their unique Trade and Investment Decision Support SystemSM (TIDS) helps our clients understand and identify new and growing market expansion opportunities, understand trade barriers and market access agreements, and identify the most competitive locations in which to make a product or provide a service. Using TIDSSM Koios also helps national and regional export development and investment promotion agencies to craft targeted promotion strategies based on a true understanding of the drivers of their national or regional competitive advantages.

Koios complements its data-driven analysis with a global network of regional, country, industry and functional specialists who help our clients translate analysis into action.
