SelectUSA 2026: The Largest Investment Promotion Summit in the United States
Organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the SelectUSA Investment Summit took place during the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, gathering global businesses, investment funds, state governments, financial institutions, and economic development organizations.
The summit once again reaffirmed its position as the largest investment promotion event of the U.S. Government, playing a central role in connecting global capital flows and fostering international investment cooperation. In particular, the “Connect with Vietnam / SelectUSA 2026” program attracted approximately 140 delegates from both countries, reflecting the growing interest of the United States in Vietnam.
Investment Opportunities in the United States for CEO Club Members
For CEO Club members, the SelectUSA Investment Summit provided a clearer perspective on the position of Vietnamese enterprises within the global supply chain, while also highlighting the growing trend of international expansion among both large corporations and SMEs.
The CEO Club delegation this year included Ms. Dang Minh Phuong – Chairwoman of CEO Club, together with members from Binh Thuan Plastic Group Joint Stock Company, Phong Phu International Corporation, Duy Tan Plastics Manufacturing Corporation, and other enterprises. The trip was especially accompanied by Ms. Melisa A. Brown – U.S. Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, along with senior commercial officers from the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.
Expanding Opportunities Through Global Connections
Through the networking platform at SelectUSA, CEO Club members had the opportunity to explore new growth directions in the U.S. market, including:
- Opening representative offices in the United States
- Establishing distribution and logistics centers
- Finding local business partners
- Connecting with investment funds and international capital sources
- Understanding U.S. legal and operational standards

These are considered important foundations that will help Vietnamese businesses gradually strengthen their global competitiveness in the coming years.
High-Potential Industries
Promising sectors include logistics, e-commerce, technology, manufacturing, exports, and AI & automation. As the United States continues prioritizing businesses with strong technological and operational capabilities, this presents a valuable opportunity for Vietnamese enterprises to expand their role in the global economic network.
In the context of a rapidly reshaping global economy, the SelectUSA Investment Summit continues to serve as a bridge between international businesses and the U.S. market, reflecting the growing trend of global expansion. Through this event, CEO Club reaffirmed its role in investment connectivity, accompanying its members in expanding markets and pursuing long-term growth opportunities.
