Decision brief
Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity
Best overall fit: Kraj Vysočina (Opportunity 56). Runner-up: Olomoucký kraj (56). Contrarian pick: Olomoucký kraj — leads the set on Freight intensity (EU pctl 85).
Why you might not pick Kraj Vysočina
Its weakest dimension is Demographic outlook (EU pctl 24) — Olomoucký kraj may suit a mandate that weights that higher.
How robust is this recommendation?
The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Olomoucký kraj · Manufacturing → Kraj Vysočina · Office → Kraj Vysočina · Residential → Kraj Vysočina.
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.
