Businesstrends Boyd Farrow rounds up what’s happening in the business world across Europe The lure of the rings UK tops Europe for foreign direct investment ahead of Olympics – but Germany is in hot pursuit BUSINESS \\\ Next year’s Olympics has helped put the UK in the top spot in Ernst & Young’s <strong>2011</strong> ‘European Attractiveness’ rankings, with 728 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects. The study also noted, however, a significant loss of market share “to countries such as Germany”, which came in third with 560 projects (just behind France at 562). The number of FDI projects in Germany has tripled in five years, increasing Germany’s market share from 6% to 15% of all European investments. The survey noted the country’s outstanding growth potential, disciplined fiscal policy and business culture. Investors named four key areas to ensure future competitiveness: IT and cleantech, tax-centric competitiveness, city projects, and talent. Germany has the world’s most extensive renewable energies industry, 80% of new innovations are driven by the IT industry, labour costs have been stable or decreased for a number of years, and three cities – Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich – made Ernst & Young’s top 10 cities in Europe for new investments. Nevertheless, it’s Poland that’s making a noise in terms of the number of new jobs created as a result of FDI in 2010. Foreign investors in Germany’s neighbour created a total of 12,400 jobs last year – the only countries to do better were Britain and France. According to the Association of Business Service Leaders in Poland, over the next few years Poland may become the largest centre for advanced services for global business across Europe.
