AI Nearshoring Site Selection
The Problem
“Slow, risky nearshoring site selection decisions”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Data fragmentation and inconsistency across markets (inventory, utilities, labor, incentives, zoning, hazards) makes apples-to-apples comparison difficult
High uncertainty in time-to-operate due to permitting, power availability, environmental constraints, and construction/fit-out lead times
Opportunity cost from slow shortlisting and underwriting, causing missed sites in tight industrial markets and weaker negotiating leverage
