Industrial and Infrastructure Project Assistance by Sigma Solutions
Introduction
In 2024, a visionary real estate developer planned to establish a state-of-the-art industrial park to host manufacturing and logistics units, thereby promoting regional industrialization and employment. The scale of the project required a multi-dimensional approach involving government approvals, funding, master planning, investor engagement, and execution strategy.
The developer engaged Sigma Solutions to provide end-to-end industrial project consulting and fast-track the infrastructure development process through structured regulatory support and financial advisory.
