This is a U.S. government program led by the Department of Commerce, focused on facilitating business investment, job creation, and raising awareness about the importance of economic development in the U.S. Since its inception, SelectUSA has enabled over $200 billion in investments and created or maintained over 200,000 jobs. The U.S. is consistently ranked among the best countries for overall competitiveness and business ease, supported by a favorable legal environment and a business culture.

The 10th SelectUSA Investment Summit saw participation from the Vietnamese delegation, including representatives from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and various large enterprises across healthcare, education, technology, manufacturing, and trade sectors.

Foreign direct investment has been a cornerstone of the U.S. economy since its founding. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan issued the “Statement on International Investment Policy,” declaring that international investment responsive to market forces is a vital and necessary component of a growing and stable global economy. Every president since has upheld this commitment to openness.

SelectUSA has quickly become a leading global investment attraction event, drawing thousands of government agencies and investors worldwide. The U.S.'s stable democracy and transparent legal system ensure that all companies, regardless of national origin, compete on an equal footing.
