Despite heightened global competition and geopolitical uncertainties, America remained a premier investment destination. Supported by a robust economy, resilient consumer sentiment, and comprehensive government programs, the US had seen significant investment and the initiation of major projects across key sectors such as semiconductors, energy, and batteries.

The third Investing In America summit returned to New York City for a full day of insightful discussions about the business and economic future of the US. The summit spotlighted key investment opportunities and the crucial role of both domestic and international companies in bolstering America's economic strength, innovation, and resilience. The event also delved into how the new administration might influence trade, the green agenda and FDI strategies.

As in previous editions, the summit showcased how cities and states are competing for investment and talent, recognizing achievements such as Houston's top position in the latest FT-Nikkei Investing in America Rankings.
