Risks
Considerations before you commit
- Labour availability and wage growth vary strongly by city and role; validate the talent pool for your exact profiles.
- Grid connection capacity and energy costs can constrain energy-intensive or large industrial projects.
- Tax, incentive and state-aid eligibility depends on project parameters and must be confirmed case by case.
- EU product, food-safety and sustainability regulation should be mapped early.
No investment is risk-free. Every case should be validated against your own requirements.
