SUMMARY:SELECT LA INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2024
DESCRIPTION:SELECT LA INVESTMENT SUMMIT 2024\n\nJUNE 20 @ 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM\n\n\nThe 2024 Select LA Investment Summit is the premier international trade event that brings together global investors with business and government leaders from around Southern California. \nREGISTER HERE \n/// \n\n\nFrom LAEDC.org:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Select LA Investment Summit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLos Angeles is home to United States’ largest county economy\, with an annual GDP of over $707 billion. With 88 fantastic cities and over 100 unincorporated areas within Los Angeles County\, investment opportunities here are unrivaled throughout the nation. In fact\, FDI Cities Magazine ranked Los Angeles 5th in the world for return on foreign investment. More than 18 million consumers live in the five counties that make up the Greater Los Angeles Region\, establishing the area as one of the United States’ largest and most attractive marketplaces for every business type. Over 10\,300 foreign- owned enterprises have already selected Southern California as their U.S. landing pad\, with more selecting Los Angeles each week. \nAs international companies enter a new market\, they often struggle to find the right local partners to integrate into this complex region. The needs of international companies are unique\, and a holistic strategy must be carefully developed to navigate business channels and discover the right opportunity in Los Angeles. This is the essence of the Select LA Investment Summit. Select LA provides international and local companies with a comprehensive understanding of the region’s investment ecosystem with actionable insights that can guide key business decisions. \nThrough matchmaking technology and over four hours of networking\, Select LA offers the perfect environment to create and foster new relationships with individuals who are responsible for turning a conversation into an investment opportunity. Just as important as a connection is understanding the local processes and protocol to ensure successful transactions\, which is why we gather state and local government officials in addition to private businesses. \nThe World Trade Center Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation are delighted to jointly host the summit\, presenting an array of opportunities to match international investors with local partners\, such as table exhibits\, one-on-one interactions\, plenary panels and breakout sessions led by local and international executives.
