What are the distinctive features of mesopartner?

• We are a specialised niche provider of expertise on territorial development (local economic development, regional economic development, cluster promotion, value chain initiatives, etc.). We work primarily in developing and transformation countries, but we also have experience in working in advanced countries. We have ample experience in translating experiences from one type of country to a different type.
• Our main focus is to develop, test, and disseminate methodologies around the topic of territorial development. Our main revenue stream is generated by development and adjustment of methodologies, driven by the needs of our customers, and by training and coaching local practitioners in developing and transformation countries.
• We do not manage long term projects on behalf of donor agencies. We rather provide know-how to those companies that manage projects, and to donors themselves.
• We believe in networking. We are closely collaborating with individuals and small consultancy firms all over the world.
