Current position and build direction

A Platform Built for Progression — Not Discovery

The DBIA platform currently provides a business directory and discovery layer, an event intelligence archive, and free and premium access pathways. It is already embedded in embassy and chamber partnership positioning.

The build direction is clear: country-level intelligence hubs, investor registration and intent pathways, gated diligence and opportunity resources, matchmaking desk and virtual deal rooms, and partner attribution analytics.

Direction of travel: from archive access to full pipeline and transaction enablement. Every country programme engagement brings that build forward — the platform grows with the programme.

Is the platform live now?

The DBIA platform has a live public layer — country pages, sector intelligence, and business directory access. The investor registration, gated diligence, matchmaking desk, and deal room layers are in active build. Country programme partners access platform features as they are released.

What does a country intelligence hub include?

A dedicated hub for your country within the DBIA platform — featuring sector briefs, investment opportunity summaries, partner profiles, event archive, and lead capture forms. Investors arrive with context. Relationships begin informed. All hub activity is tracked and reported monthly.

How does the matchmaking desk work?

The matchmaking desk is an active qualification and connection function — not an automated directory. DBIA reviews investor enquiries, qualifies profile fit against country programme priorities, and facilitates structured introductions to verified local partners and government stakeholders. Managed by the DBIA team as part of the country programme delivery.
