15+ years of cross-border investment excellence across Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe
LinkwayFDI was founded on a fundamental insight: successful cross-border investment requires more than capital—it demands deep operational understanding, established local relationships, comprehensive risk management, and sustained execution capability.
Over the past 15 years, our team has facilitated over €500 million in cross-border investments across Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Europe. We've guided manufacturing firms through market expansion, helped technology companies establish R&D centers, supported infrastructure developers in navigating complex regulatory environments, and structured outward investments for enterprises pursuing global growth.
Unlike traditional advisory firms that provide recommendations and move on, we maintain operational involvement throughout the investment lifecycle. Our team includes former manufacturing executives, infrastructure project managers, and investment professionals who have directly managed the challenges our clients face. This operational depth ensures our advice is not just strategic—it's implementable.

Principles that guide every client engagement and investment decision
We believe in getting details right. Every timeline, every regulation, every local requirement matters when real capital is at stake. Our operational background means we understand not just what should happen, but how to make it happen. We manage projects with the same rigor we applied when running our own operations.
Protection isn't an afterthought—it's embedded in every recommendation we make. We structure comprehensive protection mechanisms addressing political risks, regulatory changes, and operational uncertainties before capital deployment. Our approach includes insurance instruments, contractual safeguards, and contingency protocols that activate when needed.
Our relationships don't end at project completion. We stay engaged to ensure sustained success and navigate challenges as they arise. Many of our clients have worked with us across multiple investments over years, valuing the continuity and accumulated knowledge that comes from enduring partnerships.
We provide honest assessments even when they're difficult to hear. If an investment doesn't make sense, we say so. We don't sugarcoat challenges or overstate opportunities. Our clients trust us because we've earned that trust through consistently delivering on commitments and maintaining transparency throughout complex processes.
Success in cross-border investment requires more than understanding regulations—it demands nuanced knowledge of local business practices, cultural norms, and unwritten rules. Our team maintains deep local networks and operational presence in key markets, ensuring we navigate not just legal requirements but practical realities.
The investment landscape constantly evolves. We continuously adapt our methodologies, develop new service offerings like ODI advisory, and leverage emerging tools and technologies. Our commitment to innovation ensures clients benefit from leading-edge approaches while maintaining the stability of proven frameworks.
Our team has run manufacturing facilities, managed infrastructure projects, and overseen technology deployments. We don't just recommend—we've done it ourselves. This operational background means we understand implementation challenges and design strategies that actually work in practice, not just on paper.
We're unique in providing comprehensive investment protection as a core service, not an add-on. Political risk insurance, regulatory safeguards, and contingency protocols are embedded in every engagement. We structure protection mechanisms before problems arise, not after.
With operational teams across Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, we provide genuine local presence in all major markets. This isn't about flying in consultants—our people live and work in these markets, maintaining the relationships and knowledge that enable smooth execution.
We maintain a perfect success rate across 85+ projects. Every project delivered on time, within budget, and achieving or exceeding projected returns. This isn't luck—it's the result of rigorous planning, experienced execution, and comprehensive risk management.
