The US Embassy in Georgia says it hosted 12 Georgian companies at the 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit last week, joining one of the United States’ flagship events for attracting foreign direct investment.
Held annually near Washington, DC, the SelectUSA Investment Summit is organized by the US Department of Commerce and brings together global investors, US economic development officials, and companies looking to expand into the American market. It is widely regarded as the highest-level investment promotion platform in the United States.
According to the Embassy, the Georgian delegation used the summit to present their businesses, meet potential American partners, and receive guidance from US counterparts on investment procedures and market opportunities.
“The United States is the world’s leading destination for foreign direct investment, and we stand ready to collaborate,” the Embassy said in a statement.
The Embassy said Georgian companies explored opportunities in sectors including technology, manufacturing, and innovation, with particular attention to potential partnerships in emerging industries such as artificial intelligence and advanced production.
“From artificial intelligence to manufacturing, Georgian companies showcased their expertise, networked with US partners, and learned from their American counterparts,” the Embassy noted.
It added that participation in the summit helps strengthen commercial ties between the two countries and supports the development of long-term business partnerships between Georgian firms and US investors.
The event also coincided with the 250th anniversary of the United States, which will be marked in 2026 with a series of national commemorations highlighting the country’s history of economic growth and innovation.
The Embassy said the summit offers Georgian firms not only access to potential investment but also exposure to global best practices in scaling businesses, attracting capital, and building international partnerships.
Officials added that continued engagement in platforms such as SelectUSA is expected to deepen economic links between Georgia and the United States, particularly in high-growth sectors where Georgian companies are increasingly active.
