Why you might not pick Haute-Savoie
Long-run slide: down 15 EU ranks in real GDP per head since 1995 (relative decline, not absolute). Its weakest dimension is Freight intensity (EU pctl 33) — Vilniaus apskritis may suit a mandate that weights that higher.
How robust is this recommendation?
The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Haute-Savoie · Manufacturing → Vilniaus apskritis · Office → Haute-Savoie · Residential → Haute-Savoie.
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.
