America is where the world does business. It is not difficult to see why: companies expanding here will find a culture of innovation, dedication to hard work, and a high quality of life. From its inception. it has been the job of SelectUSA to encourage companies to benefit from these unmatched and unparalleled advantages the U.S. has to offer.

More formally put, the mission of SelectUSA is to facilitate job-creating business investment into the United States and raise awareness of the critical role that economic development plays in the U.S. economy. One of the primary avenues where this mission is accomplished is through the annual SelectUSA Investment Summit.

Today, I am pleased to announce that registration is open for the 2020 SelectUSA Investment Summit — where companies looking to invest in the United States can learn the skills and make the connections to fuel their business’ growth in America. In 2020, the Investment Summit will take place June 1-3, at the Washington Hilton, in Washington, D.C.

Year after year, the Investment Summit buzzes with energy, creating an environment of entrepreneurship, excitement, and potential. Thousands of people from all over the world come here to gain insight into the business environment, learn of industry trends, and bring business deals to fruition. International delegates connect with economic development organizations (EDOs), all of whom can showcase the unique resources of their states and towns, while service providers exhibit the variety of assistance they can offer to expanding companies.

Additionally, our Academy sessions demystify the process of investing in the United States. Topics range from understanding how to finance a startup company to navigating the U.S. visa process. These sessions are planned with our attendees’ interests in mind, as we accept proposals for topics and speakers to include on the agenda.

The 2019 Investment Summit was the most successful to date, where more than 1,200 international delegates connected with nearly 800 EDO representatives and 300 service providers from nearly every state and territory in the U.S. The Investment Summit has directly impacted more than $32.5 billion in U.S. investment projects supporting more than 38,400 U.S. jobs. At the recent 2019 Investment Summit, four investment announcements were made with a value of nearly $100 million, which will in turn create new jobs for American workers. We hope to build upon these successes.

In 2020, we are excited to help you and your company reach its full potential in the United States at the SelectUSA Investment Summit.

I hope to see you there.
