Global Connections for Your Local Economy: A Virtual Training Series on Attracting Foreign Investment

Ever wonder why multinational companies invest billions in some counties, but pass by others? Or what makes the difference between a successful business interaction which results in hundreds or thousands of new jobs, and one that falls flat? If you’re ready to take your county’s economic development to the next level, join the International Economic Development Task Force throughout this Spring for a special virtual training series on how to bring jobs and capital to your community through foreign investment. Building on our in-person meeting in February, the series will feature insider tips from economic development experts and culminate with an opportunity to utilize these strategies at the 2024 SelectUSA Investment Summit (Jun. 23-26) near Washington, D.C.
