The United States is “open for business.”

The United States Commercial Service (United States of America Department of Commerce) and SelectUSA are jointly representing the United States of America during the NBI Expo 2013.

The U.S. Commercial Service is the trade promotion arm of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration. U.S. Commercial Service trade professionals in over 100 U.S. cities and in more than 75 countries help U.S. companies get started in exporting or increase sales to new global markets.

SelectUSA was created at the federal level to showcase the United States as the world’s premier business location and to provide easy access to federal-level programs and services related to business investment. SelectUSA is designed to complement the activities of our states—the primary drivers of economic development in the United States.

The USA is the premier location for new business investment. 
It attracted about $225 billion in inbound investment in 2011 from global companies headquartered abroad—but seeks to do even better in 2013and future years.   Additionally, U.S.-owned companies that are expanding facilities, adding new facilities, or bringing back jobs from abroad invest hundreds of billions more dollars in the United States.  

With the world’s largest and most diversified economy, the United States offers investors extraordinary attractions and many possible locations.  The United States had a gross domestic product (GDP) of over $15 trillion dollars in 2011, much larger than the GDP of any other country.  The resulting per capita GDP of over $48,000 is among the highest for the world’s major developed economies.  The U.S. market is diverse in consumer tastes and has a range of income levels, thus permitting success for a wide variety of goods and services.  Whether it be a computer or other electronic device, a movie or a song, a large passenger airplane, or oil drilling equipment, trends in global markets often start in the United States.  Brands are not considered truly global until they penetrate the U.S. market.

Businesses operating in small markets in other countries can become large, dynamic firms in the United States.  Large companies operating abroad can grow even more in the United States.”
