A Strategic Partnership to Advance Global Economic Development

Beyond Borders Development Group (BBD) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Empower Partners, an advisory firm based in Kosovo with deep regional expertise across Southeast Europe.

As BBD continues to expand its global footprint, partnerships like this are central to how we deliver practical, results-driven support to governments, development partners, and international companies operating in emerging and transitioning markets.

About Empower Partners

Empower Partners is an advisory firm specializing in private sector development, investment facilitation, and the implementation of complex, donor-funded economic programs. With a strong presence in Southeast Europe and proximity to key emerging markets, the firm brings valuable regional insight and on-the-ground experience.

Empower Partners has worked closely with public institutions, international donors, and the private sector to strengthen investment climates, support enterprise growth, and advance economic reform agendas. Their work is defined by deep institutional relationships, practical execution, and a strong understanding of how policy, investment, and market realities intersect.

How Beyond Borders Development Group Complements This Work

Beyond Borders Development Group brings U.S. and international expertise in trade strategy, investment attraction, export development, and market entry. We work with governments and companies to move from opportunity identification to execution—helping clients design strategies, attract investment, and expand into new markets with clarity and confidence.

Together, BBD and Empower Partners combine global reach with regional depth, creating a more connected and effective approach to economic development advisory services.

What This Partnership Enables

This collaboration allows us to deliver end-to-end support across borders, including:

• Investment and export promotion strategy

• Private sector engagement and market entry support

• Advisory services for governments and development partners

• Investment facilitation and institutional capacity building

Importantly, the partnership also strengthens our ability to connect global clients with Kosovo’s fast-growing BPO, ICT, and digital services ecosystem, supporting international companies seeking reliable, competitive service providers in the region.

Built for Agility, Backed by Experience

Both firms teams bring decades of combined experience across economic development, trade, investment promotion, and donor-funded programming. This allows us to move quickly while maintaining the depth and credibility required to operate in complex environments.

Much of the work is already underway, with joint initiatives advancing behind the scenes. We look forward to sharing more as this partnership continues to evolve.
