Though we live in a multipolar world with several global and economic superpowers, the United States of America still holds the key to global trade, security, and political developments.

To influence developments in Washington, D.C., the client needs advisors who have deep connections within and, understand the workings of the Federal Government and Capitol Hill as well as have relationships with the two most prominent political parties (including with past presidents), the Republicans and the Democrats.

Sultan Global Group’s (SGG’s) advisory can incorporate strategic communication, stakeholder engagement planning, lobbying along with other forms of influencing.

Sultan Global Group’s (SGG’s) advisory can incorporate strategic communication, stakeholder engagement planning, lobbying along with other forms of influencing.

Our capabilities in Washington, D.C. extend to the international affairs/foreign policy community. We understand how to work the embassies and we have relationships with multinational institutions such as The World Bank and International Finance Corporation.

SGG also holds critical relationships with other key influences in the city such as trade associations, business councils, lobbying firms, and other important individual and institutional stakeholders.

For the client, the most important thing to remember is that SGG knows how to get things done in Washington DC. We can open very important doors to get things done and find solutions for you in a very critical environment.

In the area of public and government affairs for investments, infrastructure, and other major projects, Sultan Global Group (SGG) has a competitive edge over other advisory and investment firms.

When it comes to influencing key stakeholders in state capitals as well as Washington, D.C., most firms and individual businessmen will hire lobbyists to advocate for assistance in policy-making, permitting, regulations, and other matters requiring influencing.

These lobbyists can influence key stakeholders around the individual needs of the project, company or investor. However, what these lobbyists are unable to do is emphasize the geopolitical and geostrategic importance of your project or investment. SGG, on the other hand, can articulate why your project or investment is critical on either the local, state, national or global stage.

With our focus on international affairs, we can influence key U.S. federal, state and local policymakers to understand why the development of your project or investment is essential for international trade and/or commerce perspective for the U.S. depends on the project.

For a U.S. project or investment, we can assist in helping these stakeholders understand why your project will facilitate the movement of goods and services and how it will lead to industrial and commercial development in the region strengthening America’s position in the world.

Our analysis will demonstrate why your project can be critical from a national or an energy security perspective. We can also highlight the danger of your project not getting built and how this would weaken development and trade in the region.

Moreover, we can use our geopolitical knowledge to convey how your project is necessary for social development – the creation of jobs, rise in incomes, reduction of inequality and the development of auxiliary facilities such as educational institutions and healthcare facilities.

In summary, with SGG, you won’t just receive advisory around local issues such as permitting, regulations and local politics, but you will receive advice around how your investment or project is beneficial from a national and global perspective.
