Decision brief

Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity

Best overall fit: Lungau (Opportunity 38). Contrarian pick: Svalbard — leads the set on Energy cost (EU pctl 100).

#1Lungau

Strengths

Freight intensity (76) · Labour market (74)

Red flags

Cost advantage (EU bottom 15%)

#2Svalbard

Strengths

Energy cost (100) · Governance (95)

Red flags

Connectivity (EU bottom 15%)

Industrial base (EU bottom 15%)

Why you might not pick Lungau

Cost advantage (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Cost advantage (EU pctl 3) — Svalbard may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

Lungau leads under all four archetype mandates — the recommendation is weight-stable.

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.
