Decision brief
Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity
Best overall fit: Jihomoravský kraj (Opportunity 64). Runner-up: Málaga (61). Contrarian pick: Málaga — leads the set on Energy cost (EU pctl 95).
#2Málaga
Strengths
Energy cost (95) · Growth momentum (86)
Red flags
Labour market (EU bottom 15%)
Industrial base (EU bottom 15%)
Why you might not pick Jihomoravský kraj
Its weakest dimension is Air quality (EU pctl 21) — Málaga may suit a mandate that weights that higher.
How robust is this recommendation?
The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Jihomoravský kraj · Manufacturing → Jihomoravský kraj · Office → Málaga · Residential → Jihomoravský kraj.
Phase-2 diligence checklist
- Site-level grid connection capacity and power pricing (beyond country-grain energy data)
- Local incentives, tax regimes and permitting timelines
- Workforce depth for your specific roles (the talent pillar is a proxy)
- Real-estate availability, rents and land — public pan-EU data stops at the Nordics
This is a mandate-neutral read. To weight the pillars to your thesis, run these regions through the Site Screener — it ranks all 1,211 regions under your weights and exports the full PDF. First-pass macro screening, not investment advice.
