Export and investment promotion

Exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) are proven job generators. In 2022, it is estimated that exports directly and indirectly supported approximately 10.2 million jobs, or 6.7 percent of total U.S. employment. Majority-owned U.S. affiliates of foreign multinational enterprises employed 8.35 million workers in the United States in 2022.

The 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit returns to National Harbor, Maryland, from May 3-6, 2026, to establish new connections and growth opportunities through investing in the United States.
