Spotlight Story from EDA: FDI: Abetting Global Competitiveness and Business Investment

Economic Development Administration, June 2019 Newsletter

(July 1, 2019) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in the U.S. economy by supporting the creation of jobs, increasing wealth and living standards, and by helping stimulate the overall growth and innovation that drives U.S. economic competitiveness. That is why EDA works regularly with SelectUSA, the Department of Commerce program to stimulate foreign investment in the U.S.

How can we help you? SelectUSA works one-on-one with investors and U.S. economic development organizations (EDOs) to provide information, counseling and connections. Our ombudsman program addresses investor concerns involving federal agencies. We also advocate on behalf of U.S. EDOs in competition with foreign locations.
