IGNATOV & COMPANY is a group of consultants and market researchers providing world-class service for international clients since 1998, with special emphasis on the transitive economies in Central & Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Western Asia. Our well-trained team of consultants, researchers, and analysts has gained special knowledge and good experience in market research, business and engineering consulting, company intelligence, foresight and similar services for various kinds of clients. Established with a group of the Russian former governmental analysts at September 1998 our company became a recognizable international player less than in 10 years. Our multinational team of 82 full-time employees as well as over 260 freelancers successfully work in 30 offices worldwide covering 50 countries in 4 continents.

Seemingly, they possessed many of the requirements for a successful global investment business plan - money, experience, and new technologies. Relevant information about the local business environment, however, was sorely lacking. This type of information had become the least developed part of foreign investment business plans in the area and was a significant factor in many failed or underperforming international business investments in this region. Therefore, the role of market knowledge could be specified as a method of making information the instrument for stable business development.
