U.S. Consulate Announce Investment Summit
The U.S. Consulate General announces the inaugural SelectUSA Investment Summit to be held October 31-November 1, 2013, in Washington, D.C. This event will link international businesses and investors like those in Bermuda with state, local, and regional economic development organizations [EDOs] from around the United States.
The two-day event will feature a combination of plenary speeches, panels, and smaller breakout sessions focused on specific business or industry topics, such as the U.S. energy revolution, capital availability, research and development, infrastructure, and the manufacturing resurgence.
The event will also feature a trade show floor populated by EDOs with matchmaking opportunities for investors and a ‘helpdesk’ where investors can ask questions directly to relevant federal agencies. For information about the summit, please visit the event’s website.
A spokesperson said, “The U.S. Consulate General encourages interested companies in Bermuda to send a senior representative to the summit. You may contact the Consulate’s Economic/Commercial Assistant, Kathy Highe, for assistance with registration, to arrange invitations to receptions, and to set up one-on-one meetings. Contact her at HMLAmConGen@state.gov or 278-7523 if you require further information and to let her know whether you plan to attend.”
