The United States unequivocally supports foreign direct investment, and provides foreign investors fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory treatment as a matter of policy, law, and practice. The United States is currently Australia’s top destination for foreign investment, and the 9th largest foreign investor in the U.S. overall. Keeping that relationship growing, however, will take initiative. To provide additional support and assistance to investors the U.S. government launched SelectUSA.

The “SelectUSA” program highlights the extraordinary investment opportunities in the United States, and it encourages international businesses to locate, invest, and grow in the U.S. With more than 300 million people and the largest economy in the world, the United States has one the most important markets for any global company. The American workforce ranks as one of the best educated, most productive, and most innovative in the world. As a place to do business, the United States offers a predictable and transparent legal system, outstanding infrastructure, and access to the world’s most lucrative consumer market.

In cooperation with the SelectUSA office in Washington, our Embassy in Canberra and Consulates in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, are committed to helping you increase investment in the United States. Specifically, our offices can:

  • Facilitate Investor Inquiries
