Ghana SelectUSA

The annual SelectUSA Investment Summit is the premier event dedicated to promoting foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States and will be held on June 23-24, 2024, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.  Full details on the 2024 SelectUSA Summit including the program and registration can be found here. 

The Summit offers attendees an unprecedented opportunity to learn how to grow their businesses and/or invest in the United States — and to make the right connections, learn about locations, and discover relevant resources to move their investments forward.  The SelectUSA Investment Summit is for investors of all sizes – including established multinationals, SMEs, and high-growth start-ups.

The 2024 SelectUSA Investment Summit will include plenary programming, tech pitching sessions, and Investment Academy panels on timely themes reflecting the U.S. investment environment and industry trends. SelectUSA invites members of the foreign direct investment (FDI) community to propose qualified speakers for the 2024 Investment Summit.

Further background: The United States is the largest international destination for foreign direct investment and offers a vast domestic market, a transparent legal system, and the most innovative companies in the world. The Department of Commerce’s SelectUSA program provides easy access to federal and state-level programs, incentives, and services related to business investment, complementing the activities of our states—the primary drivers of economic development in the United States. Ghanaian investment to the United States is growing – including recent investments in the food production and personal care sectors.
