Where to grow, what to own, and how to fund it.
Economic Strategies works with organisations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with a particular focus on South Africa. We set the strategy, find and secure the properties, manage and upgrade the portfolio, and secure the government incentives that reward the jobs you create.
Four services. One engagement.
Most clients come to us for one of these and stay for all four, because each decision shapes the next.
Strategy
Which markets, which cities, what to build or buy, and the business case that funds it.
- Market and location assessment
- Operating model and business case
- Funding route, private and public
Property
We find the sites and buildings that fit the strategy and negotiate the terms that make them work.
- Site and building search
- Technical and commercial appraisal
- Negotiation and acquisition
Portfolio management
Running and upgrading what you own, so each asset earns its place in the portfolio.
- Asset and occupier management
- Refurbishment and energy upgrades
- Reporting on value and performance
Incentives and jobs
The grants, subsidies and tax incentives tied to the jobs you create, from application to compliance.
- Incentive and grant mapping
- Applications and agency negotiation
- Compliance and jobs reporting
A South African focus. An EMEA reach.
Our work is concentrated in South Africa, where incentives tied to job creation, Special Economic Zones and industrial property reward the organisations that plan carefully. The same approach serves clients across the rest of Africa, the Middle East and Europe.

From a question to a running portfolio.
Understand
What you need to achieve, where, by when, and what it must cost. We put the question in writing before we answer it.
Plan
Locations, properties and funding routes, ranked against your criteria, with the incentives each one unlocks.
Secure
We negotiate the property and the incentive package together, because each one strengthens the other.
Run
We manage the portfolio, carry out the upgrades, and keep the compliance reporting that protects your incentives.
Decisions that are still paying for themselves.
Three engagements that show how strategy, property and incentives work as one.

A first conversation costs nothing and usually ends with a clearer question.
