The Investment Summit promotes the United States as the world’s premier investment destination and connects qualified foreign companies with U.S. economic development organizations to facilitate business investment and job creation.
“The SelectUSA Investment Summit is the premier foreign direct investment event in the United States. We look forward to welcoming our Investment Summit family back to securely connect face-to-face, have crucial conversations about foreign direct investment and create a space for participants to learn more about why the U.S. remains the most attractive place in the world for businesses to invest and grow,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo.
The United States is currently home to more foreign direct investment than any other country in the world, with a total stock of more than $4.62 trillion at the end of 2020. Since inception, the SelectUSA Investment Summits have attracted thousands of international investors and economic development representatives, bringing more than $59 billion in new investment projects to the United States, supporting over 49,000 jobs across the United States and its territories.
