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.
