 The White House says the program, SelectUSA, has assisted in
winning more than $18 billion in business investments in 17 states
and territories.
Obama, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and other economic advisers
will join the executives in a discussion about their U.S.
investments.
"These businesses have recognized the many advantages of locating,
growing and hiring in the United States," said Jeff Zients, director
of the White House National Economic Council, in a conference call
with reporters on Monday.
"We will discuss why they chose to invest and hire in the U.S. and
how we can get even more investment from companies like theirs."
