We want to use the Summit as a means of showing the world that San Antonio is the best international business location in Texas.” San Antonio has already attracted foreign domestic investment from more than 30 countries around the world, specifically from companies such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Japan; Ercam Trackers, Spain; KACO New Energy, Germany; Season Group, Hong Kong; Nexolon, South Korea; and Maruchan, Japan. Delegates from five regional economic development organizations will be present to highlight the strategic support they provide, individually and as a team, to new industries seeking to establish new operations and grow in San Antonio, including selecting an ideal site, identifying and developing a strong workforce, marketing their products and accessing incentives and other public support. The delegation includes members from the City of San Antonio, the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation, the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Texas International Business Accelerator, Port San Antonio, and Brooks City Base. Bexar County is a supporting partner and will not be present with the delegation. Sha-Rone V. Caffie-Reyes of Brooks City Base added that “coupled with our Regional EB-5 program, we view the Summit as a critical step towards propelling San Antonio to the forefront of the international stage from a location and investment perspective.” Attendees of the SelectUSA Investment Summit are welcome to visit the San Antonio delegation booth (#611) at the Main Expo Hall of the Gaylord Convention Center.
