The participation of these leaders doesn’t just represent prominent voices from the global business community; It reinforces the fact America is the best place in the world to do (and expand) business. Through the Department of Commerce-led SelectUSA program, the federal government works to increase the flow of international investment into the United States.
The role of SelectUSA is to work with these investors by connecting them to the resources needed to turn plans into realities. At events like the upcoming SelectUSA Investment Summit, economic development organizations from every corner of the United States can meet one-on-one with international investors from across the globe. In fact, between October 2013 and September 2017, participants of SelectUSA’s previous four Investment Summits announced more than $71 billion in greenfield investment in the United States; investment that supports 110,000+ U.S. jobs.
Last year’s Investment Summit was SelectUSA’s largest yet. More than 3,000 participants met under one roof to discuss and promote FDI into the United States, including more than 1,200 global business representatives and more than 600 economic development professionals from 52 U.S. states and territories.
