U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has announced the latest speakers for the 2025 SelectUSA Investment Summit. The event, which will take place from May 11-14 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, will feature a range of high-profile attendees. These include CEOs and executives from major global companies, U.S. Cabinet Members, senior administration officials, and U.S. governors.
Secretary Lutnick emphasized the importance of the summit in attracting investment to the United States: “President Donald Trump is committed to bringing in trillions of dollars in new investment into the United States, and SelectUSA is key to making that happen,” he said. “We are committed to working together with leaders across industry and government because the time to invest in America is now.”
The summit serves as a significant platform for foreign direct investment (FDI), with over ten new announcements expected from economic development organizations and businesses planning investments and expansions within the U.S.
Notable business leaders such as Ashley Magargee, CEO of Genentech; José Muñoz, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company; along with several U.S. Governors including Mike Dunleavy (AK), JB Pritzker (IL), Wes Moore (MD), Gretchen Whitmer (MI), Phil Murphy (NJ), Josh Stein (NC), Jenniffer González-Colón (PR), and Glenn Youngkin (VA) are set to participate.
The previous year's summit attracted more than 5,000 participants including representatives from all 56 U.S. states and territories, over 2,500 business investors from more than 90 international markets, and industry experts who shared insights on investing successfully in the United States. The event has contributed to generating over $135 billion in new investment projects supporting more than 105,000 jobs across the country.
