Pathfinder: facilitating global growth
Pathfinder is PwC’s flagship inward investment platform, advising clients as they enter, launch and grow across international markets.
The UK is the number one destination for inward investment in Europe, managing a huge number of FDI annually. This consistent demand is largely due to:
strong demographic and economic growth.
a broad and diverse range of markets, infrastructure and capital projects.
access to talent and skilled labour.
levels of innovation and technological advances.
Regardless of size or experience, entering the UK market for the first time presents an array of options and challenges. We recognise the complexity around UK regulation and the interconnectivity between tax, legal and accounting. Our specialist Pathfinder advisers understand the processes involved, helping business leaders and investors to navigate the journey by drawing upon the strength of PwC’s global network.
