Sovereign Positioning and IPA Investment Logic: From Promotion to Construction
Abstract
Systemic acceleration generates decision pressure driven by geopolitical re-framing dynamics, the formation of new alliances, compressed technology cycles, reconfigured capital markets, and evolving trade rules conditioned by sanctions and regulatory realignments. In this context, Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) operate within structures that undergo rapid transformation. The resulting asymmetries can open a field in which structural reorientation and changes in perspective become relevant considerations. One potential trajectory moves from reactive host functions towards structural agency where infrastructure and prefiguration become preconditions for foreign direct investment (FDI).
