SelectUSA Investment Seminar

Expand and Grow your Business in the United States

SelectUSA is the United States federal government program that promotes and facilitates foreign business investment in the U.S. The seminar presents U.S. economic development organizations (EDOs) and expert panels to discuss and share practical information for foreign companies considering the U.S. a priority market or interested in setting up operations in the vast U.S. marketplace.

Business leaders need to stay informed about global economic developments to make informed foreign direct investment decisions in 2024. This seminar will discuss potential opportunities for companies in Portugal to begin or expand business in the United States.

The Discussion:

  • In a time of supply chain and technology disruptions and other challenges in today's global trade and economic landscape, why should Portuguese companies develop or review their U.S. growth strategies?
  • What supporting mechanics are available to help your company succeed?
  • What are the routes to the U.S. market and critical considerations in building a successful U.S. operation?
