The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that registration is now open for the 11th SelectUSA Investment Summit, scheduled for May 11-14, 2025, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

The SelectUSA Investment Summit promotes foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States by connecting international investors with U.S. economic development organizations (EDOs). The previous summit in 2024 saw over 5,000 participants from more than 90 international markets and all U.S. states and territories. The upcoming event aims to continue fostering investment opportunities in the country.

Attendees will hear from U.S. government officials, business executives, and industry leaders. They can explore an exhibition hall featuring hundreds of EDOs, federal agencies, service providers, industry experts, and startups. The summit also offers industry-focused networking opportunities and advice from policy and industry experts.

"The United States continues to be the world’s top destination for Foreign Direct Investment," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "As we continue to see the historic impacts of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, we look forward to next year’s SelectUSA Investment Summit."

The summit will also provide resources for international tech startups through the SelectUSA Tech program. Additionally, it will offer mentorship through the Select Global Women in Tech (SGWIT) Mentorship Network for women founders and entrepreneurs in technology.

In 2024, the summit brought together more than 5,000 participants including EDO representation from all U.S. states and territories and over 2,500 business investors from more than 90 international markets. It has directly helped generate over $110 billion in new U.S. investment projects supporting over 85,000 jobs nationwide.
