Export and investment promotion

Exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) are proven job generators. Exported goods and services supported 10.7 million well-paying U.S. jobs in 2016. In 2015, majority-owned U.S. affiliates of foreign companies directly employed 6.8 million Americans.

The 2024 SelectUSA Investment Summit returns to National Harbor, Maryland, from June 23 – 26, 2024, to establish new connections and opportunities to grow through investing in the U.S.
