International engagement support for cities, states, provinces and regions
Helping cities and states thrive internationally
Why should ‘local’ governments engage internationally? After all, local governments handle local public services, from roads to hospitals to schools, while national governments handle international relations.
In a globalized world, however, this rulebook is obsolete. Local and state authorities simply cannot afford not to engage globally.
While many cities and regions recognize this as true, they generally don’t do a good job at global engagement. Sure, they may host or organize the occasional trade mission, but rarely if ever do they take a holistic approach to the question of international relations.
Sustained international investment promotion, and opportunities for local governments abroad, benchmarking on policy areas from health to policing to smart cities technology can make the difference between policy (and political) success and failure.
Engagement on important global challenges, from climate to smart city solutions, can give an administration the bona fides it needs to advance its domestic agenda. And it can open up broad-based opportunities for new investments by putting them on the radar of entrepreneurial public and private sector actors looking to partner and engage.
In a globalized world, engagement isn’t just practical, it’s vital. That’s as true for York, England as it for New York City.
For international clients looking to effectively engage with cities, states, provinces and regions
Seny helps international clients looking to engage local authorities. A long history of working with local and state actors gives Seny a unique perspective for their international clients. It allows us to identify targeted opportunities for engagement and collaboration, and more quickly. Which cities are on the vanguard of drug policy? Who is working on smart solutions to municipal power grids? How can I build relationships within the smart city space? This intelligence is useful to both our public as well as our private sector clients. We can help make those connections faster, to allow private sector clients to accelerate the process of identifying and taking advantage of opportunities.
For international clients looking for a personalized touch with engaging the federal government and beyond
Based in Washington, DC, Seny International helps clients engage across the Capitol, from Capitol Hill, to the White House, the myriad of embassies, think tanks, Chambers of Commerce and press. Seny’s personal approach is perfect for clients who need a more personalized or specifically targeted approach. It can also be a companion collaboration to other local and state-focused initiatives.
