Our inaugural Forum was in Paris, thanks the the invaluable support of Choose Paris Region. The 2nd one was in Florence thanks to the superb support from Invest in Tuscany. The 3rd forum took us to Seville in June 2025 where we not only had one but 3 partners: Andalusia Trade was our host and we worked in partnership with ICEX - Invest in Spain and Malaga Open for Business.
Simply because this is the only Aftercare-specific global gathering. This is your chance to meet Aftercare peers and learn from international experts about how they are driving value from established investors. In addition, attending will get you ready to drive competitiveness in your host economy and will give you insight to reshape the way you attract new investment.
After listening carefully to what the Aftercare community wants, we recognize there are different needs. Some professionals are looking to develop capacity and need tools, templates and best practices, while others want to expand the frontiers of the industry. This is why we designed the Masterclass to take place online and in advance of the Forum, to lever the playing field and get momentum, as well as to bring our insight to Aftercare professionals who might not be able to travel.
The Forum is still 2-days long and is the ultimate in-person gathering of minds and the yearly highlight for the Aftercare community.
We believe that the best way of expanding the frontiers of FDI Aftercare is to create a strong network that can learn from each other and actively participate in the shaping of programmes content and experience.

Sorry to hear that your organization can't join this year's Forum. Unfortunately there is no refund for purchased tickets that are not allocated to a representative of your organization
Unfortunately we can't freeze tickets that are not allocated within a year. Each host city has different terms, making it impossible for us to bring a legacy of a previous event to the next one.
If you can't join us, we will explore ways to provide you all the support you need. However, please note that unfortunately tickets are not refundable.
In the unlikely event of force majeure, technical failure, injury or sickness beyond the control of Cities & Collaboration Ltd, the host, the sponsors and partners, liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid to the organizers of the Forum. Cities & Collaboration Ltd, sponsors and partners accept no responsibility for any expenses or losses. Statutory rights are not affected.
