Investors- Why you should attend?:
If you are thinking about opening or expanding operations in the United States, then the SelectUSA Summit will help you find the answers you need more efficiently, saving you time and money.
You will have the opportunity to learn more about how, where and why to invest in the United States. You’ll also learn about resources and incentives directly from federal, state, and local officials.
The United States, with well over 300 million people spread the width of a continent and beyond, is incredibly diverse. Our consumer market, our workers, our technology and our resources are vast and varied. This diversity means that there are opportunities for nearly every company – from start-ups to medium-sized enterprises to multinationals. The SelectUSA Investment Summit aims to provide unprecedented access to these opportunities – all under one roof.
Through our robust online matchmaking program and on the trade show floor, you’ll be able to connect with other businesses, economic developers and government officials who can provide you with the tools and information you need to make a smart investment in the United States.
