The SelectUSA Investment Summit, described as the highest-profile event in the United States dedicated to promoting foreign direct investment, will take place from May 3 to May 6, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington, D.C.
In an official invitation, Ron Johnson, United States Ambassador to Mexico, called on Mexican companies to participate in the event, emphasizing its role as a platform for international investment. “It’s the largest U.S. event dedicated to foreign direct investment, bringing together thousands of participants from around the world and offering a unique opportunity to explore and plan investments in the United States,” Johnson said.
The summit is organized to connect foreign investors with U.S. economic development organizations and government representatives. Participants are expected to engage in business meetings, networking sessions, and discussions on investment opportunities across multiple industries.
Johnson highlighted the United States’ position as a leading destination for foreign direct investment. “The United States has been the world’s leading destination for foreign direct investment for more than a decade,” he said. He added that $139 billion in foreign investment was secured during the first year of the Trump Administration, describing it as part of a strategy to generate jobs and economic growth.
The ambassador also pointed to the scale of the U.S. economy as a key factor for investors. “With a $30 trillion economy, the United States offers unmatched opportunity and remains the best place in the world to invest, to build, and to hire people,” he said.
The 2026 edition of the summit coincides with the 250th anniversary of the United States, a significant moment for future investment, as Johnson described. “This year is especially meaningful as the United States of America celebrates its 250th anniversary, and I’d like you to be part of what comes next,” he said.
Mexican companies of all sizes and sectors are invited to apply to join the delegation through the official SelectUSA website. According to the invitation, the event aims to provide direct access to U.S. markets and decision-makers, reinforcing economic ties between the two countries. https://www.selectusasummit.us
